So, these have torque-to-yield head bolts and cannot be reused so make sure you get a new set of bolts. I have found the instructions on how to install the cylinder head with torque specs and a video that shows the job being done. Be sure to check out the images below for the information.

Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed. These instructions work for both sides.
