flywheel torque values problem

I am putting my engine back together and am a little confused as to the correct torque value for the flywheel bolts. The engine is a 3.0 out of my '82 SC. Wayne, in your rebuild book, the paragraph on how to reattach the flywheel under the "crankcase" says 120 N*m. In the torque values table in the back of the book, it says 90 N*m. Any insight on which one is correct?
Thanks.

90 Nm in the spec book for M10 flywheel bolts ...

With a little blue loctite

Here's something from my archives:

David,

Use Loctight red 271. bolt the flywheel with two opposing bolts to
the crank. Only then apply some 271 to a bolt and insert it and tighten.
Repeat for remainder of bolts including the initial two you started with.
Reason: if flywheel is not mated solid to the crank, some of the red will get
behind the flange and cause just enough of a miss match to loosen flywheel
after awhile.

Ten years ago at Daytona we lost two flywheels because of locktight
behind the flange. It took someone much smarter than I to point it out to me.
Never lost a flywheel after that.
