Anybody know the torque spec for the chain idler on a KA24DE? Thanks!

Nobody knows?

I'm not quite sure what you are talking about, but the upper timing chain tensioner is 12-14 lb. which is the one beside the intake side's cam kinda, the chain guide on the exhaust side is 4.7-5.4 lb., the lower timing chain guide, long straight, is 9-14lb., the tension arm, long curved on the intake side is 9-14lb., and the lower timing chain tensioner, which is the one at the top of the tension arm is 4.7-5.4 lb.

Not the chain guides or tensioners. On the DOHC motors there are 4 chain gears or sprockets. There is one on each cam, one on the crank, and one in the middle that connects the lower chain to the upper chain. I need the torque spec for the bolt that holds that middle sprocket down.

48 - 61 ft-lb for the idler sprocket... Taken from my 96 fsm.
