For an N/A engine it will be 60-65lbs of torque using thread lubricant (the silvery stuff in a bottle at autozone that's used to allow bolts to slide easier back into the block), and 80-90lbs of torque using 10-30 oil as your lubricant. Sequence is: (bolt numbers)
rear of motor
10,9
8,7
6,5
4,3
2,1
front of motor
5,6,3,4,7,8,1,2,9,10

Torque settings is 25lbs, 40lbs, 60lbs (80lbs if using oil).

A haynes book contains this information, buy one so you can refer to it when you need to, they are handy. But asking here is a good idea too.
