Torque value for pressure relief bolt on bottom of engine

Could someone be so kind and look in their Bentley manual and advise me what the torque setting is for the oil pressure relief plug located on the bottom of my 3.2?

I replaced the washer on mine because it had a slow drip. Still leaks a little and I don't want to keep cranking down on it (like the PO who smashed the old washer doing the same thing). It's in straight and not cross threaded but still leaks. May just need to be tightened but would like to know the "correct" torque value before I go monkey tighten it.

Oil pressure relief plugs (both the bottom and the side) are 60 NM (~44 ft-lbs).

I happened to have scanned PDF of the manual on this computer

Cool thanks, will shimmy under it tonight and torque it down again. I don't think I did 44 ft lbs based on my hand tightening.
