I'd go above 33 ft-lb. Not to 94. How hard was it to remove the plug? Did you need a mallet?

it was pretty difficult, but i can't remember if it required a mallet. i just kind of assumed that finding the torque spec wouldn't require blood magic. i've had really bad luck with stripping threads in the past, so i'd really like to have a number.

There doesn't appear to be an official Honda torque number. Get a new washer, clean the threads, tighten to about 20 ft-lbs. Then, tap it a few times with a mallet or until you feel the washer crushing. Think that you be good to go.

This is what I have for recent / current honda engines we build at work. I don't believe any of them share that exact seal bolt. I will list the seal bolts we have and the torque spec. Maybe that will help narrow your choice down.
1.8L - seal bolts
36mm - 160 Nm 118 ft lbs 19mm allen
20mm - 45 Nm 33 ft lbs 10mm allen
28mm - 83 Nm (coolant drain plug) 61 ft lbs 19mm socket
2.0L
20mm - 45 Nm (1 in the block, 2 in the head) 33 ft lbs
28mm - 83 Nm (coolant drain plug) 61 ft lbs
2.4L
20mm - 45 Nm (block) 33 ft lbs
28mm - 83 Nm (coolant drain plug) 61 ft lbs
1.8L - seal bolts
36mm - 160 Nm 118 ft lbs 19mm allen
20mm - 45 Nm 33 ft lbs 10mm allen
28mm - 83 Nm (coolant drain plug) 61 ft lbs 19mm socket
2.0L
20mm - 45 Nm (1 in the block, 2 in the head) 33 ft lbs
28mm - 83 Nm (coolant drain plug) 61 ft lbs
2.4L
20mm - 45 Nm (block) 33 ft lbs
28mm - 83 Nm (coolant drain plug) 61 ft lbs
So I would think with a 14mm allen you should around 60 ft lbs. But purely a guess.
