Important- Trust the FSM specs. completely!!!! I had a buddy of mine assist me with the bolt torque pattern once I had the head re-installed. Have the shop mic the bolts per FSM spec and install if they are within tolerance. My personal fear was to sheer one of the head bolts off once I started the "90-degree" turns once torque spec. had been achieved, with the final pass taking the paint mark to the fire wall this is a moment of truth.....
