I can't seem to find this torque call out fo rthe front drive sprocket. It did not seem to be in very tight.
Anyone know?

Not sure what bike you are talking about, but my KO book says 5.1 - 10.8 lbs-ft.

Wow, only 5 - 10 ft.lb.
I just finished a conversion to a 530 chain, and when placing the front sprocket in position, I used a 12mm, 1.4 inch drive craftsman socket with some 242 loctite on the bolt. I put the socket onto the bolt, then hand-spun the rear tire (while in neutral) until the socket cinched up against the frame. Yeah, that's probably 16 ft.lb, give or take a couple.

...and I figured that it was loose due to inattention by the previous owner!

Yes, I was talking the smaller bolts.  I also forgot to mention to put some locktite on those too.
