Torque Specs for Header Bolts

I checked the Torque Specs in the FAQ and the links are not working. Does anybody have the correct torque specs for the header bolts that conect headers to head? Thanks in advance!!!

For the first pass tighten to 11 lb ft then follow with 18 lb ft. Start in the center and work your way out.

After a few heat cycles I checked the tq on mine.

I was thinking it was 15 lbs. on the final pass - Anyhow don't forget the anti-sieze. I like the copper stick type.
