Default Reading torque specs

Hello about to torque my cam gears on. Wondering what the proper spec for FT pounds is in the diagram?
Is it the third number specified?

Thanks

Since you have the FSM go to the EM Pg 150. Intake Sprocket is 73-79 Ft/lbs and Exhaust is 87-94ft/lbs.

My FSM EM end at page 135 (2008) and that image seems to be the only torque spec I have for the cams torque but I am not sure what digit is for the ft lbs

You can just convert the first number NM into ft/lbs - then you know what numbers you should be looking at

For future reference the GI section of the FSM explains all the symbols and torque ratings.
