Default Block is clean...head bolt torque?

Block is clean, I'm using ARP head bolts, since they are not TTY bolts do you torque them differently? Also using Cometic gaskets and AFR 205 heads.

The torque specs are in this page. You can also clean up your piston tops with some lacquer thinner and a grey scotch brite pad. They'll loog good as new.

The bolts should have come with the instructions and torque values or if you bought these used you can also call ARP.
