47 ft-lbs seems way to high for such small bolts. I would venture a guess that 20 ft-lbs is more than enough.

There torque charts for the bolt sizes. You can look them up on line. If its going into aluminium I would go 10% lower but most of the charts will tell you anyway.

20ft/lbs.

DO NOT use 12 inch/lbs, that will slip. Cam gear is definately not something you want to slip.

Tighten the cam gear bolts to a torque of 18 ft-lbs to prevent the gears from slipping
during vehicle operation ( recheck the bolts periodically. Use Loctite®whenever possible)

Thats what it says
