If you are inexperienced like myself, you might want to look at getting a MotionPro Torque Wrench adaptor to let you make consistent torque settings on the three very delicate head studs...underside two at front, one at rear. There are videos on line showing just how much more torque these can take before pulling out the alloy head (spec is 30 ft-lbs, video tests showed 38-42 ft-lbs pull out). The torque wrench adaptor lets you hold the torque wrench at 90 degrees to the box end or ring end spanner fitting on the nuts (a socket cannot be used for these three on underside of head). When at 90 degrees, torque setting on your wrench is what the nut gets.
