yes. should be the exact same. these ls heads are all the same basically... they should be torqued the same way. that way there is no way the head will have any chance of "high" spots during the torque sequence

OK..So I torque bolts 1-9 to 22ftlbs..
then mark them, turn an addition 90*
then 1-8 an additional 90*
and then 9 and 10 50*
ending with the 5 top bolts.. 11-15 @ 22 ftlbs..

Sounds about right??

Thanks again for the info.
