[xj40] torque specs for frt cyl head bolts?

I am re-installing the head on the AJ16 engine I am fitting
to my 1982 XJS 5spd car and I am wondering what the torque
specs are for the three small bolts at the front edge of the
cylinder head? Since these bolts are the same as the cam cap
bolts should they too be torqued to 13 - 16 ft-lbs?–

Steven,

According to the FSM torque specs, those front head bolts
should be torqued to 23-27Nm / 17-20 lbf/ft–
