torque numbers?

Can anyone help me with this. I have a vibration problem with my 2002 998 and found that the engine to frame and swing arm bolts were loose. Does anyone know the actual torque numbers. I'm going to order a service manual but in the meantime I want to fix this ASAP.Thanks

This should get ya in the ballpark-

Thanks. I thought that maybe the 998 was different. I will use those specs for now until I receive a service manual.

Swingarm Pivot Bolt 73Nm
Engine to frame screw fixing nut 60Nm
Engine Mounting Bolt 44Nm

These are from the Testastretta Workshop Manual

Thank-you very much. If I understand you correctly, I torque the nut on the end of the bolt tighter than the head of the same bolt? The bolt probably threads into the engine cases then? I learnt something new today.

Nope.
