Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Homelite HB-180, torque specs, torque specifications

Question
I have a full gasket set with intent of rebuilding the engine. What i don't have are critical torque specs. Especsilly between the cylinder & crankcase. It's got a leak there now causing it to run erratically. I can see bubbling at the joint telling me thare's a loss of crankcase seal. Oher torque values for the carb & case halves will be of value too..
Thanks,
Mark
