Default 600 Mile Top End Rebuild Maintenance Question

Recently had my top end rebuilt on my 94 Heritage. I've changed the oil and would like to go through and make sure all the bolts and screws are tightened to specs. Does anyone know where I can find those torque inch and foot lbs?

The guy that rebuilt my motor wanted me to bring it back in at 600 miles so he could do a "600 mile maintenance" which consists of changing the oil and tightening the bolts.
I've changed the oil myself and would like to do the tightening myself to save the extra money and learn the procedure. If you think that is a bad idea I am open to your opinions.

Not to put you off but you might try posting this in the EVO section. Lots of experienced EVO wrenches will be more than happy to help. But I will say you need to get a manual for this stuff if you plan on doing your own maintenance. If you had a Twin Cam, I could get you the numbers.

Honestly, while changing oil and re-torquing some bolts is not rocket science I would let the guy that did the rebuild take care of this one. In the event something happens early on he would be more likely to take care of any issues and not play the blame game that you didn't do it right.

I learned at an early age,, NEVER buy tires at one place and new wheels at another. An unbalanced wheel issue that I got no-where getting fixed as they blamed each other for the problem.
