I haven't gone that deep into an engine yet. Done things like; head gaskets, water pumps, alternators, starter motors, radiators, heater cores (what a nightmare), brakes, exhausts. You're probably right in saying that there is a few other bolts that should be desirably torqued to (n) ft lbf -- foot pound force.

All bolts have dataheets, all bolts have torque specs. Based on PICBaisc Forum replys all bolts must be torqued.

This is true. Robots need to know this information, therefore engineers will calculate a torque spec. But when a mechanic installs your new starter motor, those bolts will be tightened to approx 1/2 a turn, which is probably about 20 ft lbf at a very wild guess.
