These are the easiest engines to work on, he must not be a good mechanic, if nothing else he should of told you that they didn't work on these engines, NOT telling you the "nearest repair shop was in China"

Instructions.....There are plenty out there, you just need to know how to search.

Torque specs for the 8mm studs is as Joe said; 12 to 15 foot pounds or about 120 to 140 inch pounds.
We normally suggest to discard the chrome acorn nuts in favor of shouldered hex nuts. It has been reported often that the acorn nuts can bottom out on the stud and not contact the head properly which will not give you good head gasket sealing.
There is often some inconsistency in stud length that makes relying on the acorn nuts questionable.
Good luck.

I torque my 8 mm head bolts to 140 in lb. After you run the motor a few times check them again. Don't over do it.
