I have no info on Phoenix rods and as it's important I'm not going to take a guess.
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.
