Sometimes results would be non-repeatable if they just said torque to 85 lbf-ft or whatever it really is. That's especially true if the bolts are supposed to yield on final torque. Head bolts that are designed to yield are pretty common, but I don't know specifically if Saab uses them.
Are those instructions for RE-torqueing, or for installing a NEW gasket with new bolts? It might make a big difference in how the gasket compresses the first time it's ever been tightened.
If those instructions are correct, then you're right. After you've tightened to 44 lbf-ft, then turn the wrench another 90 degrees. (If they break, you'll know the instructions were incorrect...)
