Oil pump torque specs
 
Doh! I inadvertently loosened off the bolts on the oil pump down beside the water pump. So, do I need to replace or loctite these bolts, and to what spec? Thanks for any guidance, I've been unable to find this info!

I can't find the actual oil pump but below is the tightening torques i used for the other parts. I think the oil pump also has M6 bolts?
I used blue loctite.
coolant guide housing on crankcase - M6x20 and M6x70 - torque 10 nm(7.5 ft/lb)
coolant pump on crankcase - M6x25 and M6x30 - torque 10nm (7.5 ft/lb)
power steering pump on bracket - M8 - torque 23nm (17 ft/lb)

Thanks! I suspect that since the oil pump shares the same (extended) gasket as the water pump and has the same diameter bolts, that the torque specs would be the same, i.e. 10nm.
