Torque on Bellhousing Bolts

Just pulled my t-5 tonight to start a clutch job. Flywheel will be resurfaced tomorrow, but my area of concern is with the bellhousing bolts. Two or three of them were very loose in there while the rest were nice and tight. I can imagine it would be a bad thing if these all worked their way loose over time. What should i torque them to, and is there something I should do to keep them from working loose? Right now its just the bolts, no washers or anything. Should I use some lockwashers or a dab of removable locktite or something?

Thanks All

i think they're 3/8 bolts so something round 40ft/lbs would be good. i always use an inpact wrench if i can and if i use hand tools i set them on thighter than hell and it seems to work ok. i'd clean the bolts off and use thread locker on them to keep them from backing out over time.
