B230T engine head bolt torque 700 1987

Just did one yesterday. '88 760T

From Haynes: 15ftlbs first pull, 43ftlbs second pull, 90 degrees more to finish. Start in the middle and alternate to the left then right of the middle set of bolts. I like to Copper Coat my surfaces before assembly, but some like then dry.

I hope you have a good arm, the last pull goes to almost 100ftlbs.
