Can you please tell me the head bolt torque spec and sequence for a 2011 Cadillac escalade?

It’s actually a 2017 not a 2011. Sorry, I don’t know why it did that.

Hi,

No problem whatsoever. When you install the heads, note there are different directions for each side. The torque is the same.

Additionally, note torquing requires a few steps. You really should have an angle-degree torque wrench gauge. They are inexpensive. I attached a pic of one from Amazon. It's under ten dollars. Once you do a basic torque of 59 foot-pounds, the next passes are done by the degrees the bolt turns.

I placed an L and R on the pictures, so you know which is the left and right head.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
