  I most certainly could be wrong but personally, I have never seen an advertised torque specification for these bolts.

  I'm not aware of a torque spec on those bolts. I will say, though, do not run a threader through for clean up, as they are intentionally tight to prevent oil leaks. After you get your gasket set right and are ready to bolt it up, use Locktite thread sealant on those bolts or they will leak regardless.
