Default header bolt torque

Is there a specific torque for the header bolts? Guy who put them on said he just put them on but not too tight. I just drove it home, and wanted to put a wrench on them again. Then again and again after the next couple drives. Anything specific?

No one will give you any specific number as its *******ly impossible to get a torque wrench on all but the two end bolts.

I use a standard combo wrench, and get them a tight as I can with one hand. checking them frequently the first week is a good plan.
