This is the part where "Machete" would be of great help: Torquing the headbolts!
What I did (with special mention to fellow tsikoteer mechanics who provided me tips on torquing the bolts: jick and lexxus) was to divide the torquing to 3 stages. since the indicated torques are usually 80% of the yield strength of the bolts, the approx 87 lbsft torque was divided to 20 lbsft, then 40 and then 87. Actually I torqued to a little bit greater than 87. In between the 2nd and 3rd stages, I had a "yosi break" for about 10 minutes to settle the bolts and gaskets. I was hardup on 40, how much more on 87. Therefore i need a break. Also don't forget to apply new silicone sealant on the halfmoon on the rear of the head. It's a leak-prone area.



Now install rocker arm and shaft assy. finger-lickin tight and then ratchet-snug tight. Notice the fresh oil..it will help during the initial priming process before start-up of the engine. Take note also of the chamfer side of the washer. It must face down (the rocker shaft).



I used cable ties again to keep sprocket from moving...
