Default Ford Sigma (zetec se) crank bolt torques

Hi all

just got myself a nice Westfield SEiW with a ford zetec se 1600 engine, I’ve replaced the Cambelt and waterpump including the tensioner of course and aux drive belt & idler pulley.
I torqued up the crank bolt to 100nm then 115nm and I stopped there.
The figures I find online are 45nm plus 90 degrees which sounds like nothing but Imachined a blank block with m12x1.5 threaded hole same as the crank on my car and tested the torque 45nm + 90 on the vice with the spare (shorter bolt) that came with Cambelt kit, it was monumentally tight.
what actual torques do you guys use roughly?
