You also need to know the proper torqueing sequence. Perhaps Joe P or someone can chime in with a picture and verify it for you. I know I printed it out, but I can't find it right now.

130 will be for the later 1/2" head bolts. You have 7/16" head bolts, so go with 80-85.

That's what I was asking as 130 seemed too high of a torque
