That's pretty tight. A typical 1/2" head bolt is only 95 to 105 lbs.
Don, I'm assuming you mean the standard 1/2" bolts with SAE standard threads.
The same grade bolt with fine thread would require less torque.
Over torquing will actually reduce the load carrying capability of the bolt, along with potentially stripping threads.
John:
Need to re-read the question:

125 ft. lbs is correct for this application on the flywheel NUT.

Your right Don, Somehow I was thinking jackplate bolt.
Guess I was having a senior moment.
Don't feel bad, John! I've been known to miss a few myself....
