[Tigers] Balancer bolt torque?

[Samouce's]

Thanks guys!

90 lbs it is!  I used the ARP moly lube on the bolt and lots of grease on
the hub to crank connection.  The balancer was heated to 250 degrees and
pressed on the crank as I tightened the bolt.  It's not going anywhere.

My torque wrench was recalibrated about two years ago.  I have the hydraulic
roller lifters submerged in oil overnight.  The heads will go on tomorrow.
