There really should be a smiley for this...

 

ok i hope i did this right! torqued my head started out at 30 then 70 then 90 then after all studs were torqued to 90 i did a 90* angle more tightenin. only thing holdin me back now is flush the lines and radiator change oil and adjust my valves. whicj i think if i knew how or could find tdc id be in shape. any valve adjusment stickys?

 

I would have started when you got to 90 and took it up in 5-10 lb arguments to 130lbs while using the pattern starting in the center and work your way out in a circular pattern. All of which while using new bolts

 

hope i didnt mess it up doin that then. that means my bolts are probably at 150 lbs

 

Its very hard to get stock bolts to 150lbs with out massive stretch that would make a normal person stop expecially using 90* increments.
