I have three different 318 manuals that all state 85 FT LBS, torqued in stages, initially to 50 FTLBS and then to 85 FTLBS
one manual states torque in three stages 30, 60, and then final torque of 85 FTLBS
The 340 head torque is 95 FTLBS.

Thank you, that was a help. I found a mechanic at the marina and we went with 95 lbs.
