Continental engines overhaul manuals lists torque values for general use AN bolts used in Continental engines where not otherwise specified. For a 3/8-24 AN bolt (std AN-6 bolt) it lists the torque value as 275.0 - 325.0 in.lb. (22.9 - 27.1 ft.lb.) 95 in.lb is the same as 7.9 fl.lb, which seems very light to me. By comparison, AN-6 prop bolts (3/8-24 thread) are typically torqued at 25 ft.lb., which falls right into the range specified by Continental for general use torques.
