If you need more detail:
M8 x 25mm long rolled thread precision bolt to Australian Standard AS1110 grade 8.8 (rated at 80% yeild stress of the bolt, 800MPa)....Recommended torque for black bolt without lubricant and preload 65% proof load of the bolt (general engineering practice) is about 20-22Nm, for more accuracy then a strain gauge should be used. Yes most of this is unknown, but very important. Should you require further explanation then please contact me via email...As a guide I have 530Nm at the flywheel from a 2L engine with 6x M8 bolts holding the clutch to the flywheel and they are fine for this load....
