ok well thats a good idea but i was just seeing if anyone has done it before cuz i mean i have done almost everything to a car except swapping heads and internal work

Thats my motor 
Torque specs should be 22 ft/lbs first step, then 43-49 ft/lbs
Remember that is with stock unused head bolts.

Can you / is it even wise to reuse headbolts?
I thought they were basically torque to yeild...

buy one.
that's my only suggestion. </TD></TR></TABLE>
QFT.
Theres no shame in using one, mine as well to insure that you don't have to pull the head off again because you forgot something.
