• Hey what are the torque specs for the head bolts? and what order? i lost my paper work with this info =( and im about to take the old ones out but i dont have the order (to do the reverse). I want to finish this today please PM if you know them! i'll be checking every like 2 minutes
  
  i remember some ludacris torque and then like two sets of 90 degree turns, run it, and then while hot another 90 degrees (or something? but i want something more concrete than my cloudy memory)
  
  thanks!

• What engine do you have? There are 11mm and 12mm head bolts. And you do know you can't reuse them don't you?

  12mm, hydraulic head!
