I have a haynes manuel and the head bolt spec are different then the ones on this site. So I was just wondering what are the real head bolts TQ spec?
 
This is easy enough...taken from Corbin's engine rebuild how-to :thumb:

"When the head is squarely situated on the block, you can get the head bolts. Take them out of the packaging and clean off any dust. Lay them out in two groups (long and short). Dip each bolt into clean oil and drop it into it's corresponding hole. The four short bolts go in the corner holes and the six long bolts go in the center holes. Use a 15 mm socket to tighten the bolts down in the following sequence. Torque bolts 1-6 to 25 ft-lbs in sequence per the picture. Then torque bolts 7-10 to 20 ft-lbs in sequence per the picture. Torque bolts 1-6 to 50 ft-lbs in sequence and then torque bolts 7-10 to 35 ft-lbs in sequence. Again, torque bolts 1-6 to 50 ft-lbs in sequence and then torque bolts 7-10 to 35 ft-lbs in sequence. Finally, use a breaker bar to turn bolts 1-10 an additional 90 degrees in sequence."

Doesnt one of the headbolts need to be trimmed a little to avoid oil leaks.
 
...it's been known that #7 sometimes bottoms out before being fully torqued down so yes there is the infamous oil leak from the back of the block there.
