I believe for both the Alpha 1 Gen I and II the torque is 50 ft. lbs.

Which should be the same for the R, MR and MC1 drives as well.

Yup. Also, criss-cross as you tighten and work it up in at least one stage, like 40 wrist pounds before you tighten final to 50. That way the gasket sets in place and doesn't get pooched out.
