Head tourqing sequence

[zombieslider]

Im reusing my stock head bolts and the fsm says to torque them to 3 specs 3 times waiting for the engine to get up to NOT in between each tq spec but ive also read that it would be fine to just torque them down once. Which way should i do it?

i know the pattern to do it in, im asking weather or not i should let my car warm up then untorque and retorque them the 3 times.

It wasnt the pattern I was pointing out, it was where did you read in the FSM to heat the engine up then re-torque it?

It says nothing in the FSM about running it. Just use what I posted and it will be perfectly fine.

Some people will tell you to just re-torque the bolts after running for a few min, but NOT loosen then re-tighten.

oh sorry it didnt load and i just assumed it was the sequence, i guess once i run it ill just recheck it.

I know what happened, im reffering to what ppl have said about installing arp head studs.
