I have two questions what are the updated torque specs, and I have new head gaskets with no markings on them, are the back ports the open ones?

Thanks so much. that is exactly what I wanted. To be clear the big antifreeze ports on the rear of the engine are open and the ones on the front are covered except for that little 1/8 inch or so hole.
