Merc Manual from 89, not sure if they used cork in 89 or not.
1/4 - 20 80 in. lbs.
5/16 - 18 165 in. lbs.
I would not tighten any more than what just barely deflects the pan. Watch it closely or use a straight edge. A softer gasket will take less torque. Each brand of cork gasket will compress differently. Take your pick on sealants.
