Torque settings on bolts go by the size of the thread, so normally two
similar sizes would get the same setting. Some threads are on tempered
steel studs, such as the crankshaft and head studs. Here is a list for
the 'A' and 'B' series engines, hexagonal nuts, ( 12V & 18V 12 sided
ones differ a little; and XPAG, see later.)

Big end bolts  40 lb.ft.
rocker adjuster nuts 22
sump drain plug 25 
Carb stud nuts 2   ( thats what the book says, 2.)
clutch flywheel bolts 30
cylinderhead nuts 50   ( 40 on early 1098cc Midgets,)
tappet chest ( side covers) 2
later sunken tappet chest covers 5
distributor clamp  5
flywheel bolts  40
gudgeon pin, ( wrist pin,) 25
main bearing nuts  70
manifold nuts  15
oil filter bolt 15
oil pump nuts 14
rear engine plate 5/16" bolts  20
rear engine plate 3/8" bolts  30
rocker shaft support nuts 25
rocker cover nuts 4
sump bolts 6
timing chain cover 1/4" bolts 6
timing chain cover 5/15" bolts  14
thermostat housing nuts 8
water pump nuts 25
spark plugs 30
crankshaft pulley nut 70
camshaft nut 70
steering wheel nut 35
universal joint bolts 30
gearbox drive flange nut 100
'U' bolt nuts on rear axle 20
brake backplate nuts 18
differential drive flange ( pinion seal,) 120

18V & 12V 12 sided nuts,

big end nuts  33
crankshaft pulley nut 70
camshaft nut 65

XPAG/XPEG engines,

main bearing nuts  63
cylinderhead  50
flywheel 50
big ends 27
small end pinch bolt 33
 rocker shaft 8mm  27
rocker shaft 10mm 42
timing cover 20
clutch cover  33
 sump  27
manifold clamps  20
oil pump nuts  12

Hope thats some use chaps.
