Can someone kindly provide the torque specs for the cam caps on a 6 bolt head when using ARP bolts ARP Cam Tower Bolts. The instructions that came with the tower bolt kit says 168in-lbs. That does not seem right considering the factory OEM cam cap bolts is between 14 -16in-lbs

168 in-lbs is 14 ft-lbs so the ARP number should be ok.
Here's torque specs from the 1991 FSM, page 9-84:
