some questions on head bolts and torque for w124 with m103

I am getting ready to torque the head bolts on my 89 300 TE and have some questions about this procedure.

I have the head gasket and head on the car with the bolts finger but the shop manual says to torque them to 50 (or 55) nm while the sheet that came packed in the gasket set says to torque them to 75 nm before doing the two half turns on the bolts.......I don't know if I should stick to what the manual says or if there is a reason that this head gasket says to torque to 75nm (or is that just for another model)?

The manual also says to oil the head bolts and any part of the bolt that comes in contact with the head...... Can I use never seize on the threads and mating surfaces instead or should I stick to the oil?


any advise, opinions, or help would be greatly appreciated.
