Does anyone know what the torque specs are when replacing a head gasket on a '94 EX?

Thanks.

tighten them in the sequence in the haynes or helms manual to about 23 lbs. then go back throught the same sequence and tighten them to 54 lbs.

if you don't want it too leak, 23ft lbs , then 65ft lbs

Indeed, stick to specs, don't overtighten the bolts because it won't leak if you tighten them to spec.
