I'm about to replace the head gasket on my Cressida. What is the proper torque for the bolts and should I replace the head bolts. I've read that I should torque them at 70 someplace in a forum. Can someone help me with this?

Hi there

final Torque 78 (Nm) do this in 3 stages. I would be replacing the head bolts , these are not torque to yield bolts, but it is just an extra insurance policy and they are not expensive.
