To put that much torque on it, you need the engine in some kind of mount. Either the bike frame or on a stand. With everything stable, 100# is not that much. But if you go over the 100# by much, you will likely damage things. Just use a torque wrench and set it at exactly 100#.
The big nut is listed as a throwaway and is supposed to be replaced. I know other people reuse it though. I'm not sure what the consequences are in reusing it. I'm thinking worst case, it comes off and you have to take the cover off to fix it.
