Does anyone know the Ft Lb torque on head,bearings,oil pan, on 1939 Farall A Sn 38907 Block 6342 DC 82OJ

The torque on the rods should be 40-45 ft-lb if the nuts are locked with a cotter pin. Its 43-49
ft-lb if self-locking nuts are used. Its 75 ft-lb on the mains. My manual has 65 ft-lb on the head, but I think that has been increased. That's what I used on an A in 1976 when I restored an A. Never had any leakage problems
and that's when I purchased the manual for $4.00.
