I torque mine to 75 pounds and use a drop of red locktite. No failures or the bolt coming loose yet was tight for 8 years before rebuild. I have seen the spec from 70-90 ft pounds I would not take the bolt pass 120 pounds for fear of stripping the threads inside the crank or pulling them. You need to be sure that the dampener is seated to the bottom of the snout of the crank. As long as the dampener is tight on the snout and the pulleys are spinning true, see no reason for 100+ torque reading, but that is just me. Rick L.
