DML FAQ : Engine : What is the head bolt torquing sequence for Magnum V8 engines?

Q:
What is the head bolt torquing sequence for Magnum V8 engines?


If you are looking at the head with the spark plugs and exhaust manifold ports facing you, and number the head bolts starting from the top left to the top right (the long bolts) as 1 through 5, and number the bolts from the bottom left to the bottom right (the short bolts) as 6 through 10, the sequence is:

3, 8, 2, 7, 4, 9, 1, 6, 5, 10
Following that sequence, torque all bolts to 50 lb-ft, then to 105 lb-ft, then 105 lb-ft again.
