I don't have my notebook with WIS with me, anyone can help me out with the torque spec for the 3 bolts of the exhaust cam sprocket?
I remember two versions, one had 18nm, the other one some torque and 90 degree.
Bolt part number in use 1049900022
Thanks in advance.

The FSM is not clear, AND has an error. You cannot use the late-style stretch bolts on early-style sprockets, the heads are larger and the bolts will not fit. I believe the early bolts are T30 or T35 (forget which). The late bolt is T40.

The early style bolt (104-990-00-22) found on CIS (119.960) and LH (119.97x) engines can be re-used.

The late style bolt (120-990-02-04) found on ME engines (119.98x) is single-use and must be replaced.

Dave, awesome... Thanks for the quick help!
It is the early style bolt with washer. So the non stretch 18Nm version (T30).
Will finish the install of the right head front cover and assembly and install of the intake manifold....
