[Shotimes] Fw: [Shotimes]Bolt torque question

[Leigh Smith]

Thanks Russ;

Those figures match my 94 service manual.
I guess the "89" data on the Alldata CD is either just incorrect, or
pre-production specs that never got corrected.
I was suspicious when it mentioned only the one year as being so much
different.
