Waukesha did that for a while. You need to convert the inch pounds to foot pounds. 46-50 foot pounds on the rods, 117 on the head Except the oil screw which is 100, 010 on the intake valves,016 on the exhaust valves. Not any closer than 010 on the rings. I can double check my book when I get home later this week.
