Alu case vs. Mag case - torque specs?

[jamiep_jamiep]

Just buttoned up my short block but am now wondering.... I have tightened it all the through bolts and case hardware to the torque specs for a magnesium case, but I am running a CB/A/linea alu case - is there a difference to the torque settings?

Thanks
Jamie

I'm a plodder I don't build engines regularly, so like to take my time on the occasions I do it to try and avoid mistakes.

I've even put ALL the bolts on!
