Torque settings for bolts

Hey, got a question, does anyone here know what the torque settings are for main caps, rod bolts and head bolts are for the v6 Essex 3.0L that came out of the 1970 mk1 capri?

    Workshop manual has the following, but there may be more recent figures that others here will know from experience.

    Heads are tightened progressively:

    Stage 1 - 5lb. ft.
    Stage 2 - 20-30lb. ft.
    Stage 3 - 50-55lb. ft.
    Stage 4 - 65-70lb. ft. (do this 10-20 minutes after Stage 3)
    Retighten to 65-70lb. ft. when engine is at normal operating temp.


    Rod bolts 38-43lb. ft.

    Main caps 55-60lb. ft.

    Cheers
