Banjo bolt to engine block torque spec anyone?

I need to find this out in order to button up my PCV project.

Many thanks!

Thanks Jonnie.
I'll post pics once I'm done with this project.

For the life of me I could not get the left/lower intake manifold bolt off as I would have to remove the entire t-stat housing and the margin to get my torx bit in there was too tight. She started to strip, so instead I decided to leave the housing and manifold bolt in. I ended up cutting off a small piece of the man. gasket to make it fit. What a god awful design.

It's not just me then? I had to take the thermostat housing off when I did it to get to that last manifold bolt, I seem to remember I stripped out the Torx-head reinstalling the thermostat house. It's an easy out for me whenever that has to come off again. I hope your modified gasket works!
