flywheel torque values problem

[fallonmi]

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 ...

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.
