v6 owners or mechanics-please read this!!!

hi all,
many of you will know that i have a`tappetty`v6.it was stood nealy a year before i bought it.it couldn`t be sva`d and the dealer had no idea about doing camper conversions-which i had done,then registered it.
anyway,now we aren`t going away til next year,i want to remove the camshafts and inspect/remove/dismantle/clean the hydraulic lifters/tappets and have struggled to find the engine manual.all i want is the torque settings for the camshafts and anything else i might disturb.
i`m HOPING.....to remove the camshaft/rocker covers,then unbolt the camshafts,then gently.....lift them while still`in place`in the timing belt,then remove the hydraulic tappets to dismantle them.
HOWEVER...if this isn`t possible,i`ll simply remove the timing belt and do it that way,aligning the timimg marks on the camshafts,and crankshaft,when reassembling,in which case i`ll need the torque settings for the crankshaft pulley and the timing belt tensioner.
NOW...the closest manual i have is a 1996 mazda mpv,2.5 v6 dohc.the torque settings i can find in that so far are:
upper idler pulley 28-38 lb/ft
crankshaft pulley 116-122 lb/ft
timing belt cover (m6 bolts)70-95 in-lb/ft
timing belt cover(m10 bolts)23-38 lb/ft
timing belt tensioner 14-18 lb/ft
rocker arm assembly 14-19 lb/ft
camshaft mounting bolts70-95 lb/ft

i think that is all i have at present.someone out there must have worked on a v6,either to change a timing belt or other engine work.
please can someone out there tell me if i should be ok with these figures.i can pretty much work through the information that i have,and see if any lifters are sticking/stuck,or failing that,if i have any camshaft damage.
thanks so much in advance.

Re read your torque settings if they are in the manual.........the manual is wrong.

Take the tappets out and clean them, and fit a new belt...............nuff said?
