RX8 Rebuild Question

Hey guys,
Does anyone know of a book or website or anything relating to the torque specifications for engine bolts and such. I am rebuilding my 13B-RENESIS engine and can't find the torque specs for the different bolts and parts. I don't want to put it all together and break a seal by tightening it too much. Any sort of help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Google : 13b msp engine manual.

So your rebuilding it without the manual?

How did you clearance seals? Where did you get your wear/damage limits?

I'm sorry but your already wrong.

You better start reading and fast. It's not as easy as most people think.

No seriously. Read it.




If you are still reading my post and not reading that, you are wrong.

I have done research on the process. Also i don't know what the insides look like till I take it apart so I guess I can't say a rebuild is even possible. I read the link that RIWWP posted and I fully understand. I'm not going to rebuild it if it isn't worth it. Is there anything else I should know? I'm not trying to sound like an ***. I want as much info as I can from people that have done a rebuild so hopefully mine goes smoother.
Thanks

Don't reuse seals and such, I would just buy all new.
