Here, you should find everything you need to know in this.

only because im feeling generous....

EDIT- nevermind, its already been posted with a link....i shoudl pay more attention

But be sure to increase to ~72-75 ft/lb and perform in several stage pass

Also, once you have the final torque down, if you use moly lube you can redo it about 5 times to get the most acurate torque readings, but that's just me being picky about how accurate the torque on the head is...

I'm geusssing its the same pattern for a retorque, such as breaking it loose then torquing it down to 75 in that order right?

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Breaking it loose is reverse order.

 

[isnms]

But he's asking about a retorque. I think the pattern would be the same as posted. I could be wrong.
If removing the head it would be reverse.

^ that doesn't make sense. When did this start?

My bad in not giving a little extra detail here: This is using new bolts/studs .

 

[jdub]

This is what Chris is referring to using ARP bolts/studs:

Good read...the loosening/tightening over several cycles to get the most accurate torque reading is under the "Friction" section.

 

[americanjebus]

My questions is can you do this to a single bolt after the rest have been given their final torque down? ^ i read the friction section but it didnt clarify.

Im just wondering because i've heard of people replacing existing stock bolts with arp's 1 at a time.
