Not trying to steal the thread but how much torque can I put on my factor head bolts? I am putting on a new turbo tomorrow and was going to re-torque the head. and put on a fancy red cummins valve cover.

I retorque headbolts to 50-90-125lbs in sequence, the bolts do need to be allowed to cool between stages to prevent failure. Some go more some go less, I have had good luck at this stage.
