I have the SUV listed above I can only seem to find head bolt sequence and tightening pattern for 2004 and newer. Mine has some 6 inch head bolts. All info I find is for motors with (qty. 10) 4 inch bolts. So I need to know the specs and sequence for 2000- 2003 I assume.

Good evening,

I posted the torque spec and the sequence for you to view.

Note, you must use new bolts. You cannot us either old bolts or they will loosen up or break.

Yes, I knew that much but wanted to make sure and get it right the first time so I didn't ruin them and have to get another new set. Thank you very much.
