Post subject:  Head Torque setting

Hey guys need a bit of help. Replaced the head gasket on a 1993 323F LX. I followed the torque settings on the gasket case but need to give it a second tightening. Don't have a haynes manual so need torque settings. Torqued to 58 pounds at the moment but think thats too loose as she's sounded slighty louder than normal. Valve clearances would be great as well. Thanks in advance!

Maybe your exhaust manifold isn't torqued properly?

Cheers for that. Heard that on them you have to tighten 90 degrees loosen 5 and then tighten another 90. This would bring it 175 degrees beyond the 58 ft-lb. Do you know is this correct?
