I only found the cylinder head torque specs for a 2.0-liter engine, can you please double check the engine size?

The head bolt torque specifications are as follows:

Cylinder Head
Long 73-83 ft. Lb
Short 62-70 ft. Lb

Let us know if you need anything else.

With two different torque specs how should I tighten the head bolts in increments? And if so what increments?
