I don't see a 2.4-liter engine, there is a 2.0-liter engine though so here are the specs for that engine. There seems to be two different bolt sizes, here are the specs for both.

Tightening torque
M6 bolts:
11.8 - 13.7 N.M (1.2 - 1.4 kgf.M, 8.7 - 10.1 lb-ft)
M8 bolts:
18.6 - 22.6 N.M (1.9 - 2.3 kgf.M, 13.7 - 16.6 lb-ft)

Here is the tightening sequence. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
