Default Cam sprocket torque

Have FSM but can only find the crank sprocket torque of 24 ft lbs . This is for a 09 96 ultra

Is it the same for the larger cam sprocket ?

Thanks

Dave

These newer manuals are frustrating to those who are used to older manuals . The material and content is there , it's just laid out different , making us look harder to find the information we need.

I don't care for the format changes , it is no longer assembled in any logical sequence and you have to know the lingo as they see it , you must be familiar with the terminology as some keyboard desk jockey calls it .

M8 manuals no longer go into any detail at all about rebuilding cylinder heads , just replace them .

With it locked with blocktool, Tighten both 15 ft/lbs. Then loosen both one turn. (smooths threads) Then tighten cam 34 ft /lbs and crank one 24 ft/lbs
(that's out of the service manual)

And don't forget to apply oil to bolt flange and washer right?
