Need cylinder head bolt torque values

My manual didn't arrive and I want to put the head back on. Can anyone tell me the torque value for the stock head bolts?

I have the sequence but need the value. Thanks!

1. Install a new gasket with the part number side up,
and locate the gasket over the dowel sleeves.
2. Using an engine lifting crane, lower the cylinder
head onto the engine.
3. Lightly lubricate head bolts under bolt head and on
threads, with engine oil and install. Using the
sequence shown , tighten bolts in the following
steps:
a. Torque bolts to 70 N·m (52 ft. lbs.).
b. Back off 360 degrees in sequence.
c. Torque bolts to 105 N·m (77 ft. lbs.).
d. Re-check all bolts to 105 N·m (77 ft. lbs.).
e. Tighten all bolts an additional 1⁄4 turn (90°).
