3.8 headbolt torque

headbolt torque step 4, do they mean the last two steps 5- 6 or do step 5 to each bolt and then go around again and turn them another half turn?

What are you getting you torque sequence from? My Ford manual tells me tighten in three stages then an additional sequence.

sorry about the delay, the haynes manual says:
step 1 15 lbs,2-29,3-37,4-loosen each bolt sepperately and tighten to final torque specs then step 5 long bolts
30 to 36 short 15 to22, step 6 tighten an additional half turn now do i do steps 5-6 together or go around again for step 6

I personally would contact your local Ford dealer for the most up to date torque specs.
