83 chrysler 55hp flywheel nut torque

[eastcoastitalian]

does anyone know the correct flywheel nut torque for an 83 chrysler 55hp model # 559v3s i've got 2 differnt manuals and both of them give a different torque but neither one specificly list my year or model number,just the horse power? also when installing the woodruff key should it be tapped all the way back into the grove it seats in the crankshaft intill it bottoms out in the grove?thanks for the help.
