MG TD TF 1500 - Head torque

I have a TF with the XPEG 1500 engine. As part of the tune-up I want to retorque the head bolts. I would like to know what others torque the head bolts to. I have heard 50lbsft. Is there agreement that this is correct? Can anyone recommend a book/manual that gives the torque specs for the engine components and wheels and etc.

A book I have found to be extremely useful is called "The MG midget (Series "TD") and (Series"TF") Workshop Manual" published by The MG Car Company Limited, Abingdon-on-Thames, Oxford, England.

Written some 50 years ago, the style of English is a little quaint when compared to modern usage, but is in keeping with the age of the vehicles described. There is also assistance for American readers in that some English terms such as petrol, paraffin etc., etc., are translated into American equivalents.
