42Nm also appears in a lot of the Ducati workshop manuals but, as you've found to your cost, it's incorrect. For example, the text of my Evo manual says 42Nm but, in the table of torque settings at the end of the manual, it says 20Nm (+/- 5%), which is the correct figure. (The gauze filter and plug are both 42Nm though.)
