torque heads in 3 stages 20ft lbs starting from the middle of the head outward then 40 then 65-70.
lower intake in 2 stages start with15-20 ftlbs then 25-30 starting from the center of the intake outward.
upper intake is done the same way . max torque 19-22ft lbs
if you have aluminum heads do the same way but lower the max torque on the heads to 55 ft lbs
