Use manufacturers torque sequence but do not use the engine manufacturers torque specs.Torque the nuts to 80ft.lbs

But the manufacturers sequence says after torqueing to turn through 180degres.I have read that this then overloads the head gasket (due to bolts no being stretch bolts)and to just torque it down to the 80ft.lbs
