Thats what haynes says but i prefer bentley at 110Nm a quarter turn is alot of movement after 60Nm
I hope you have new bolts, oring and felt seal
also crazy not to change the crank seal while you are in there for £10 and well worth considering tge spigot bearing for another £5

It's not necessary to use new.
I and others have re-used flywheel bolts

re-using flywheel bolts is fine.
as for replacing spigot bearing, crank seal, felt seal, why not go the whole way and chuck the lot in the bin and buy new?
you don`t need to replace everything, and 110 newtons is what I always do.

Cheers guys. Used the info from a Bentley and tightened to 110nm. Reused bolts everything else was new as it's a new vega lump.
