Default wrong Torque spec diagram?

i am trying to find the correct torque spec for the upper valve assembly for D16z6 (po8-6 head) and I get this diagram.
However my bolts are not 6mm & 8. They’re 10mm and 12mm.
Should I still follow that spec?
Here is the diagram

They are actually 6 and 8mm bolts... but that reference is the threaded shank diameter. The 6mm bolts actually have a 10mm head on top and the 8mm bolts have a 12mm head on top. So you are saying the same thing even though you don't realize it.

Also, for reference... a 10mm bolt will have a 14mm head, most 12mm bolts will have a 17mm head, and 14mm bolts will have a 19mm head.

AHHHH ok That’s weird but thank you very much !
This is my My first “rebuild” on a motor and I just wanted to make sure I’m torquing everything correctly and making sure my information is correct where I’m getting it from.
Thanks again I appreciate it
