I figure that you got on with your work by now but just for sport...

The bolts you refer to are called Cyl. Head Bolt (or in Austrian: zyl.kopfschraube) M7x40, qty. 6. They get torqued to 18Nm or 13ft.lb. Replace the copper washers for the best results. If you are in a pinch, they can be annealed by heating them with a torch, then let them cool slowly. It's cheap insurance just to replace them. Before you take it out and really lean on it, take the engine to operating temperature, allow it to cool and then re-torque the bolts. The nuts at the base of the cylinder get torqued to 30Nm or 22ft.lb. Check those at the same time after the heating and cooling cycle of the engine. It should be good to go after that.
