Clutch bolt torque values

Just got my valair clutch in, I'm going to try and put it in this week. I searched and found one thread that listed torque values. Do these values sound right?
89 ftlbs for the flywheel to crank bolts.
26 ftlbs for the pressure plate to flywheel bolts.
53 ftlbs for the tranny to engine block bolts.
Those are some pretty random numbers.

From my Ford shop manual:

flywheel attaching bolts: 89 ftlbs (121 N-m)
clutch pressure plate & cover assembly: 17-24 ftlbs (23-32 N-m)
transmission to engine bolts: 39-53 ftlbs (53-72 N-m

Just as a precaution, I always locktite the crank bolts and the clutch bolts. Even though you are torquing the bolts they could still come loose.
