It looks to me like 216-240 inch lbs but get confirmation first before torquing it down. Allways use a center out pattern and allways install a new gasket. It wouldnt hurt to surface the head first. On a glass table with 220 grit swirl it in a figure 8 pattern until it all shines the same. Do not put sealant on the gasket and slowly torque it down to spec in at least three steps.
