Bellhousing bolts

[jagwheels]

Hi lads.
When bolting the bellhousing to the gearbox would you torque the bolts and then when bolting it to the engine does it get torqued.

There may be a torque figure for the gearbox to bellhsg bolts, but I've never heard of one for the bellhsg to engine bolts. The former want to be done up pretty damn tight (I would just do them by hand myself) but bellhsg to engine bolts are not so critical - I've never heard of a gearbox falling off a car! In any case you couldn't get a torque wrench in there if you wanted to once it's in the car.
