Cylinder head bolt torque

I have a Hayes overhaul book for the jeep cherokee xj which covers several year models. The book gives the torqing sequence for the cylinder head bolts and give 3 steps a, b, and c. It does not list the torque value for the steps my jeep is a 2001 in line 6, 4.0 engine. Can someone give me the torque value or a good place to find it.

CAUTION: During the final tightening sequence, bolt No.11 will be tightened to a lower torque than the rest of the bolts. DO NOT overtighten bolt No.11.
Coat the threads of stud bolt No.11 with Loctite 592 sealant, or equivalent.
