On the next link there is a reference to head torque settings which are wrong in certain Hynes Manuals. You will have to read through it to find the it.

Here is the line.

Using the sequence above (that starts in the middle of the head), torque all the head bolts to 15 ft/lb. Once you have finished, repeat the sequence and torque them to 44 ft/lb this time. NOTE - if you have a US Haynes manual that states the second torque should be 37 ft/lb (as mine does), it is INCORRECT. I also had a British Haynes manual and a Volvo factory manual to refer to, and both of them gave a Nm value that converted to 44 ft/lb. I further researched and found from another source online (AERA page 116, second line, last column on the right) that the second torque should be 44 ft/lb. I have communicated with Haynes and notified them of the error, and they agreed. So, torque to 15 ft/lb the first time through the sequence, and 44 ft/lb the second time through it. The third and final torque is the one that is a nail-biter, and it is done with a torque angle gauge (above). This is basically a short 1/2" drive extension with a dial around it showing degree measurements (0-360). It has an arm that protrudes from a bracket on the dial so it doesn't move, while the clear cover on top of it has an indicator line that shows exactly how much you have tightened (in degrees). I got mine on ebay, as I couldn't find one locally.
