TSB & WSM torque spec. discrepancy

I was in the process of installing my HPOP when I noticed the torque specs found in TSB 08-18-6 differs to WSM 303-04C

the TSB states on page 8, step #14 to torque the two 6x30 branch adapter bolts to 97 in-lbs.
whereas the WSM states torque value for these 2 bolts to be at 124 in-lbs.

Can one of you guys please clarify this?

tsb 08-16-6 is superceded by 09-22-16 that tells you to use the on-line wsm with a spec of 124 in-lbs.

thank you,
was unaware of 09-22-16

I was going to go with what was on the WSM due to the "1/2010" noted at the bottom of the page if I didn't get an quick enough response, but you know how that is, you guys here on FTE are terrific.

Thank you very much for the clarification, and for helping me get this thing back together correctly and quickly.
