Tighten the M11 cylinder head bolts (1-10) a first pass in sequence to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).

Tighten the M11 cylinder head bolts (1-10) a second pass in sequence to 90 degrees.

Tighten the M11 cylinder head bolts (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) to 90 degrees and the M11 cylinder head bolts (9 and 10) to 50 degrees a final pass in sequence.

Tighten the M8 cylinder head bolts (11,12,13,14,15) to 30 N·m (22 lb ft). Begin with the center bolt (11) and alternating side-to-side, work outward, tightening all of the bolts.
