What you do, and this is true of any head bolt pattern, is you begin in the center of the head and work your way across and to each end alternately. I don't have the stud/bolt numbers in front of me but that's what you do.



You'll start off with a light torque, say 40 then work them all untill you finish up at the opposite ends. Then work them all down to, say, 60 then up to 80 and so on till you git to 120/125. At that spec you will want to go over them two or three times, untill the wrench stops moving to aquire the torque. read that "the gasket smashes down and the head bolts stop streaching at the final torque spec.



Have all bolts clean and lightly oiled,even the head (shoulder area) and clean holes void of any debris/oil etc.



Thats the nut shell version. LOL
