I was hoping to scan my instuction packet into a PDF for you, but my scanner is dead, so I hope the picture will work well enough. It says to follow the torque sequence (picture) and torque them in three steps to 35 ft.-lbs., 50 ft.-lbs., and 70 ft.-lbs., then torque only the long bolts (9, 5, 1, 3, and 7 in the picture) an additional 10 ft.-lbs.

Just a FYI....you can call the Summit Racing 800 number and they can transfer you to Trickflow tech.....since they own Trickflow...they have always helped me.

Rocker studs 55 ft/lbs and use loctite.

Now for the bolts, assumming you are using arp bolts you use arp's tq values, NOT what the head instructions say. Follow the same torque spec, but use what arp say's to torque them too using the lube arp says as well. Its 60 ft/lbs using arp thread sealent on ALL bolts.

Ditto what he said. Follow ARP's recommendation which I thought was 65 but I may be wrong. He seems to be confident that it's 60 so I would go with that.

You aren't using the factory bolts, right? Just wanted to overt a disaster just in case.
