First, you MUST use new head bolts. The old head bolts can not be reused. This is because the torque is set by a stretch value on the head bolts. Once a head bolt is used, it can not be correctly torqued again. Torque the bolts to 33 foot pounds with a torque wrench. Then tighten each bolt an additional 90 degrees.
