When I installed my bc 272s, I put mine at 18 ft. Lbs.

Yes Sir, just torqed down some new cams on my buddies 1g head last night.
His 1g haynes manual said 14ft-lbs to 15ft-lbs.
My 2g manual said 168in-lbs, which is 14ft-lbs.
I torued his cam caps to 180in-lbs, which is 15ft-lbs...

M8 Bolts 21 ft.lb

The 91 FSM says 14 to 15 ft lbs starting with the timing belt side center cap (#3) then the trans side center cap (#4) alternating out (#2, #6, front, rear). It also says torque them in three passes progressively. The do the exhaust cam caps.

I'm about to install my Hks 272 camshafts and wanted to know the correct torque specs & sequence,thanks

Not sure on sequence, but its 16 ft lbs. I've always just done the middle, outside caps, then the in between in a couple steps.

15-19 ft lbs i usually go from middle out going from side to side everytime i go out like torquing head bolts

If you don't have the Factory service manuals in paper or a Backup CD you need these. No more excuses for what's the torque setting or what color wire is this.
