Here it is from the Cats mouth (Ford service manual) engine section
They must not do much proof reading on those Haynes manuals
Also, to throw them a bone, they might have changed those specs some over the years when switching back and forth from cork to steel / rubber composite gaskets

I see its for a different engine size, do you think that would matter or its all relatively the same ?

Good call
I see the spec is slightly less on the 5.8 for some reason
