Answer
Head bolts are 160 ftlbs plus 90 degrees.The 10mm bolts on the fuel pump side are 50 ftlbs.Sequence is kind of strange.The easiest way is just start in the middle doing the circle pattern until you get to the "odd" pair then torque those two,circle pattern until you get to the "odd" pair & torque then,circle until the last "odd" pair & torque the last ones.The "ODD" pair are on the camshaft side.
