Crank torque

[paulkay]

Going to be installing the original motor back in my old beater, 1987 FXSTC, this spring. The motor has a new HD crank in it along with a few non HD parts, do I use old torque or newer torque or a cross in between (150'#)?

What's the old torque? MY 98 manual sez comp nut 150-165ft/lbs.
