short head bolts for 04+ Ok i gotta new ls6 block from tsp and im getting ready to start assembling. My old engine had long head bolts i know there is probably a difference in the amount of tightening that needs to be done on the short head bolts but the number sequence is probably the same. Anyone actually know what the specs are for the short head bolts, all the info i have is for the older blocks with long head bolts.

I have the correct gm head bolts I just need to know the if the torqing procedure is the same as the long style bolts as in are they 22ftlb/90 degrees/90 degrees on the center bolts(long) and 22ftlb/90degrees/55degrees on the outside bolts(shorter)
probably should have just bought these they tell you what to torque them to.

the gm book shows less degree for the shorter bolts, i belive 2 per head?
one book shows 90 deg vs 50 deg for the short ones, another book shows
76 vs 34 (after 22 ft lbs)-either way, it looks like the shorter ones get less angle
make sure the bolt holes in the block are clean of debris, so the bolts dont bottom out on trash
