Can anyone tell me for sure what these should be?

I just changed mine and I'm finding different information online.

Thanks!

I've had them go on other cars so I definitely think it's sound planning.

I still couldn't find the torque specs so I settled on 15 nm for the idler and 20 for the tensioner, both with blue thread locker. The only thing worse than having a pulley shatter might be stripping the thread on the block where the idler goes.
