Those should be 12lb ft if memory serves correctly. I don't have the manual in front of me. I made a template out of cardboard to remember exactly where each one goes. I would not put a cheater bar or breaker bar on those. Soak with some penetrating oil overnight.

Are you talking about the bolts securing the head cover (as I showed above)? Or are you talking about the 4 nuts on the long 9mm cylinder head studs?

The nuts are very tight, far more than the 24 inch pounds they were supposed to be torqued to. I can put a breaker bar on them and get them loose, but before I do I would like to know if anyone else has seen this.

The 8mm and 9mm bolts are meant to be oiled before torqueing, lubricated torqueing is tighter than dry torqueing, hence why they are stiffer to remove as they'll dry out with time.
