Starting from the left hand side on the back of the head 5328

starting from the left hand side on the front of the head 7146

Tighten the cylinder head bolts to 44 ft.lbs (60 N-m) in the order shown in illustration. Use the J 36660-A torque angle meter in order to rotate the cylinder head bolts an additional 95 degrees.

Tighten the bolts in sequence to the the specified torque. With all the bolts tightened, make a second pass tightening all the bolts an additional 95°. Remember, 95° is just a little more than a 1/4 turn, not 1/2 turn, or from 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock on the dial. Do not tighten beyond this specification, otherwise the bolts will be overstressed and the gaskets may suffer damage.
