From memory i think it done in four stages,

stage 1 25nm
stage2 55nm
staage3 90 degrees
stace4 90 degrees

degress done with a dial gauge

also when you start tightening them down start in the middle working your way out from side to side diagnal to diagnal so is pulls the head down evenly hth

cheers john
