Head race bearings (Tapered)

OK I have replaced the above with new tapered bearings
searching threads I have followed the advice below but not sure of the top steering nut torque settings - is it 140 nm as per the book

I'll say it again, DO NOT TORQUE TAPER HEAD RACE BEARINGS! Just nip them up to take out the play, any kind of torque will crush them. The torque settings in the manual are for OE ball race bearings.
