Be careful. I relied on the Haynes Manual when rebuilding a gasoline engine Olds 350. The torque specification in the Haynes manual was actualy correct for diesel engine Olds 350 cylinder head bolts. Result: snap. On a Saturday afternoon, when time was of the essence. Fortunately, there was just enough of the bolt sticking out that I was able to retract it.
Moral: nothing beats the factory manual. That, and listening to the old timers.
