Hello. Using a torque wrench, tighten the bolts as follows: tighten the long bolts to 73-83 ft lbs. (11 Nm), in the sequence shown in the illustration and tighten the short bolts to 62-70 ft lbs. (84-95 Nm) in the sequence shown in the illustration.

NOTE: The short bolts, exhaust side, should end up with a total rotation of 100 ° and the long bolts, intake side, should end up with a total rotation of 110 °.
