Answer 3

You will need to tighten the head bolts in a circular pattern starting from the center and working your way out. I recommend hand tightening all the bolts before beginning the torque sequence. Head bolt torque: For older style 10mm head bolts : 35 - 45 - 45 - and a 1/4 turn; For newer style 11mm head bolts : 45 - 65 - 65 - and a 1/4 turn

This is information given to me when I did a head gasket replacement on my old saturn... It applys to all vehicles.

Answer 4

Start in the middle and work out as a circle. It's like smoothing a wrinkle.. That's the pattern form Torque in 2 stages, snug then tight.
