Some head bolts need to be replaced if the engine has overheated. Also you parts dealer should be able to tell you the torque setting as we as the torque pattern. Remember some torque specs require a degree wheel to turn a number of specific degrees after torquing in order to stretch the bolt to the proper spec. sometimes they break
