Torque of Fly Wheel

Car: '87 5000CD Turbo Quattro

I am torquing the flywheel to the crankshaft. Page 30.8 of Bentley's
says the torque on the flywheel to crankshaft is 25 nm (18 ft lb.) vs 75
nm (55 ft lb.) for the hex head bolts that bolt the pressure plate to
the fly wheel.

This doesn't sound correct to me. The hex head bolts are smaller in
diameter than the bolts that bolt the flywheel. I'm not even sure that
they would take 55 ft lbs.

Can anyone confirm or correct these torques?

BTW. You would be amazed at how similiar the topics and opinions are on
the Jaguar email lists. Of course they have more problems to
troubleshoot, but surprisingly the parts are cheaper!

Cheers
George
