7. Put head on
8. torque to 30-60, untighten, 30-60-75-85
9. Put grease on the inside of nuts
10. Put on
11. Tq starting at 45lbs from the inside out
12. Go up every 10lbs to 75lbs
Just thought i'd throw in that step #8 since it wasnt in there
umm, your procedure doesn't work.
put head on, then torque ? torque what? the head studs into the block with the allen key on a torque wrench? no.
step 8 needs to relace steps 11 and 12.
