But there are six bolts in the head - on the right side of the engine (facing the engine) that go into the head on an angle. What are they and what should they be torqued to?
Thanks-

Reread the manual and make sure its not less at the four corners. I have a block here with the corner broke from being to tight.

Joe Yes. The specks generally show 85 lbs. on the left front bolt.
