Can someone give me the torque spec and sequence for the head bolts on the 2.5L V6 (SVT in case that matters). I can't seem to find my Haynes manual. Ive tried to search, and couldn't come up with anything (although I did find them for the cam bolts).

Thanks!

NOTE: Make sure the cylinder head is installed in its original position.

NOTE: Tighten the bolts in the indicated sequence in six stages.

Position the rh/lh cylinder head and install new cylinder head bolts with washers.

stage 1: Tighten to 40 Nm.

stage 2: Tighten 90 degrees.

stage 3: Loosen 360 degrees in reverse sequence. ( One full turn, in reverse order )

stage 4: Tighten to 40 Nm.

stage 5: Tighten 90 degrees.

stage 6: Tighten 90 degrees.

40 Nm. = 29.5 Foot lbs.
