Putting bacv together an ls head gasket but not sure on the lbs. of torque the head bolts require?

 

According to the Helms 98+ service manual for the B18B1, you have to torque down the head in 2 stages. First to 22 LBft, tightening the center bolts(between cylinders 2 and 3) then working outward. Then repeat torquing sequence to 63 LBft.
