I found at ALLDATA that head bolts should be torqued at 68 ft.lb. ( 92 Nm ).

How accurate are data from ALLDATA, anybody else use info from their site?

13 5 2 10
17 9 1 6 14
--------------------------- edge of rocker cover
16 12 8 4 3 7 11 15

intake manifold runner to intake manifold plenum bolt 18 lbs.ft.
intake manifold runner to intake manifold bolt 18 lbs.ft.
intake manifold attaching bolt 35 lbs.ft.
exhaust manifold attaching bolt 35 lbs.ft.
valve rocker covers 80 lbs.in.
crankshaft pully center bolt 70 lbs.ft.
crankshaft pulley outer bolt 32 lbs.ft.
crankshaft torsional damper bolt 60 lbs.ft.
engine front cover bolt 80 lbs.in.

Are you using new OEM bolts or new ARP bolts? Are you using motor oil, thread sealer, or assembly lube on the threads?
