I need to put my flywheel back on and can not find the torque requirements for the bolts from the flywheel to the counterweight. Anyone know? I checked the FSM with no luck they show the big 350+ ft/ib torque for the main nut but not the little ones going around it.

also I have a lightweight steel RB flywheel if that matters

when i was doing my flywheel my torque wrench would not go below 50, if my memory serves me right it was 17lbs call racing beat they will know also use thread lock on all bolts good brand is permatex

Call racing beat, and they should have that information.

I think I torqued mine to 32ft/lbs but that was awhile ago.

Straight from the FSM. If you knew about the FSM already, then shame on you.
If you didn't.... well.... now you know.

did he ask flywheel to pressure plate? NO.

i went with 45 ft/lbs per the FSM when i did my gf's FC with a fidanza

Ah... I misread. My apologies.

From FSM, Engine Chapter, page 1-63, step 7.

"Install the drive plate so that the holes in the drive plate and counter weight are positioned as shown in the figure. Install the back plate and tighten."

You have to see the picture to make sure you align it properly. No mention of any threadlocker/sealer.

Driveplate to counterweight bolts:

43-61N*m
4.4-6.2 m-kg
32-45ft-lb

edit: You mentioned you have the FSM, but pic. attached anyone else.

I called racing beat like 5 times yesterday and the call never went through. So I just torqued it down to a little turn past 30 ft/ibs as a guess before anyone had input and it looks like I was close according the fsm. Thanks for linking me though I guess I was missing it.

engine is already back in so its going to have to do. Hope I don't have a flywheel bouncing around in a few months.
