Factory header bolt torque specs and pattern?

[Dragster]

Hey everyone! I'll be installing my Kooks headers sometime in the next couple weeks, and the instructions say to follow the factory torque specs and pattern for retorquing the header bolts. Does anyone have them available or a link to it? I'm guessing it's probably hard to even torque some of the bolts down properly, but I'd like to stay as by-the-book as possible. Thanks in advance for the help!

good luck getting any torque wrench in there, hard enough to get your fingers and a wrench in.

:lol:Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but I'd like to at least have a guesstimate of how hard I should be turing the wrench.

For tightening pattern, I tried the best I could to start at the middle and work my way out with tightening the nuts/bolts.

As for torque, just tighten them as much as you can, but don't go hulk smash on them.

I tightened mine to the point to where I felt that they were all the way in and tight, and then just gave it one more bump and they've been good.
