Those are just small 6mm bolts. Not sure if there's an actual torque spec but I've heard people doing about 8-10 ft/lbs. It's steel threading into aluminum so don't over tighten it. I used blue loctite on those when I put my engine back together.

10 seems slightly high for 6mm. 7 - 8 ??

hand tight with a short-handled box wrench and a +1 for blue locktite.
For 6mm bolts, 8ftlbs (especially w locktite) is about the max you should go.
