4.0 SOHC w/engine oil cooler...filter stud torque?

[J.Rovirosa]

In the middle of the timing chain guide/tensioner and engine reseal job on our '03 and can't seem to find the torque spec for the oil filter stud that goes through the oil cooler and into the filter adapter. Doesn't seem to be in the factory shop manual either (which itself is proving to be less than trustworthy, but that's another story), only a reference to the bolt that secures the filter adapter to the block (42 ftlb.) Don't want to risk crushing the cooler, since it isn't that old.

Thanks for the reply. Doesn't look like the spec I'm looking for is in there, though. The bolt referred to in there I think is the bolt that goes from adapter to the block. I need the spec that goes from the filter stud to the adapter.
