Sure, here are the torque specs for the cylinder head and rocker arm bolts.

Rocker Arm Bolts - 19 ft.lb

Important: The cylinder head bolts are torque-to-yield (TTY) and should be replaced with new bolts during installation.

Long Bolts - First Pass 46 ft.lb
Long Bolts - Final Pass 90 deg
Short Bolts - First Pass - 43 ft.lb
Short Bolts - Final Pass - 90 deg

Clean the bolt holes in the block before installing the new bolts. Any coolant or oil trapped in the holes can crack the block or give false torque readings. Let me know if you need anything else.
