50 ft# is right. Thats what I've always used on my 1600. One thing to 
remember too... the minute you stick anti-sieze on the bolts (wich you SHOULD 
be doing in a bi-metal engine!) it throws the reading off - you get more 
torque then your indicator states. (enginerering types will hafta jump in 
here & explain it fully....)

Better to go easy on it, then "reef 'em down" and have serious, 
machine-shop-only-to fix stuck/broke bolt problems !!  Don't forget your 
re-torque at 50-500 mi too !
