..those heads bolts will be torqued  to 60 ft lbs {65 for cast iron heads.. alluminum heads require less torque due to the expansion rate}.....using the supplied moly lube apply a dab on the threads, a dab under the washer, and a dab under the head.......  i allways torque in three sequential steps...the firdt two #s aren't as important...i normally just divide the total by three ..... so go 20 ft lbs...40ft lbs  then  full torque  with no excessive jerking motions..starting from the center bolts outwards so that the gasket lays itself flat...VOILA!!
