Cluth cover bolts... How many ft-lbs of torque?

[my63c10]

Hi... Does anyone know how many ft-lbs the six bolts on the clutch cover should be torqued to? A picture is attached. As best I can tell in the shop manual, it is 11 ft-lbs but that just doesn't seem enough to me. Thanks!

11lbs is definitly incorrect, crank those babies tight! I don't know the torque required but you don't want those bolts coming loose... Im gonna bet its closer to 100lbs but I don't know for certain, I typically just crank em tight and don't look back. haven't had any issues yet.

It's the standard Synchro-Mesh 3-speed on the column....
