Hi,

If you look at the pic below, I attached the head bolt torque. When you do this, tighten the bolts to the spec indicated. Then go back over them and turn the bolt head an additional 180 degrees.

Pic 2 shows the sequence for torquing them. If I recall, I believe it requires a T-55 Torx to tighten them.

Regardless, let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
