Tighten the cylinder head bolts.
Tighten the M11 cylinder head bolts (1-10) a first pass in sequence to 30 N.m (22 lb ft).
Tighten the M11 cylinder head bolts (1-10) a second pass in sequence to 90 degrees using J 45059.
Tighten the M11 cylinder head bolts (1-10) a final pass to 70 degrees using J 45059.
Tighten the M8 cylinder head bolts (11-15) to 30 N.m (22 lb ft). Begin with the center bolt (11) and alternating side-to-side, work outward tightening all of the bolts.

Use an accurate torque wrench, a good torque-angle meter and new cylinder head bolts.

Here is a video to help
