just crank those babies down tight. there is no need for a torque spec on something like a flywheel

The flywheel to crank bolts are listed at about 70 to 75 ftlbs as I recall.

most people dont worry about it, but its like a wheel with unequal torque and it can become warped. imho use a torque wrench its cheap insurance and make sure to use locktite

Be careful, over-torque can stretch the bolt and cause failure (i don't think 90 is enough to stretch these bolts in your case, though)
