Torque To Yield (TTY) Cylinder Head Bolt Assembly Procedure
This procedure is specific only to STOCK Torque to yield head bolts and should be strictly followed! Never reuse old TTY head bolts!!! These bolts MUST be replaced. If you are using AFTERMARKET head bolts, follow the manufacturue's recommendations.
  1. Ensure ALL Cylinder Block bolt holes are clean and dry. Use a bottoming tap as required.
  2. Lightly lubricate bolt threads and under the bolt head surface.
  3. Torque ALL head bolts in PROPER SEQUENCE (see below) to 25 Lbs. Ft.
  4. Set Torque wrench to 60 Lbs.Ft.
  5. Turn each head bolt 90 degrees (one quarter turn) in PROPER SEQUENCE but do NOT complete the turn if 60 Lbs.ft is reached.
  6. Repeat step 5 AGAIN DO NOT EXCEED 60 Lbs.Ft.

    NOTE: It is very common to reach 60 lbs.ft during step 5 in less than the specified 90 degree turn. The same is true for step 6
