Torque specifications on 1980 XJ6

I'm struggling to find the actual specs for the torque on the head bolts on the 80 XJ6. Anyone out there able to lend a hand?

Yes! Straight 6, that is what I meant.

My stepdad is doing the work, I'm doing the online research. Mix up in terms there. These couple weeks of suddenly having an old Jag to fix up and I still don't have all the damn terminology straight. Thanks for assist!
