For the other two, I have never seen published or even suggested torque figures that I recall.

Camshaft nut - not sure what you mean by this Hugh. Do you mean the nut on the end which secures the gear? or the fan pulley? Or perhaps the screw which locates the front bush?
If the former, "tight" is sufficient. The screw needs to be nipped up securely but the thread is easily damaged so go steady.

The flywheel nut is as tight as you can reasonably get it. Most people use a long spanner or extension bar and pretty much stand on it. The main limitation is the need to stop the crank turning, which I normally do by poking a screwdriver through one of the peripheral holes in the flywheel.

Hi Chris,  not sure about the screwdriver through flywheel, bearing on a fragile part of the bell housing — to my shame I once broke a large piece off when using this method of locking the crank. 
Last time I did this job I used a wooden block inside the crankcase — something I learned from a guy who’d done the job many times.
I do mine up tight Charles, but not that tight! But yes point taken, and I do sometimes chock the crank with a bit of wood for this & other operations. The care point here of course is not to shed splinters in the case.
