Gerard, The flywheel nut could be right as it is a taper fit and doesn't need a lot of clamping force but the clutch drum should probably be tighter. I would look at the 860 manual and use those figures. The crank taper is the same and I'm pretty sure the clutch shaft is the same too. I know the alternator rotor needs to be tight and 86lb sounds right. I think the clutch drum figure is the same as the alternator.

Thse figures would be for steel bolts in steel threads, for steel into old alloy i would use common sense. The only time I stripped threads was with a torque wrench.
