Head bolts 110 ft/lbs-use new ones, the old ones can stretch.
The rocker bolts torque is 20 ftlbs but don't try to tighten them till you turn the motor past the top dead center on number one cylinder another 20 degrees. The motor needs to have all the pistons below the top of the cylinders or some contact may happen. So look at the front of the motor and turn the crank till the timing marks are half way between the tab marker and straight up at 12 O'clock. Now none of the valves will be able to contact a piston and they will bleed down by themselves.

Injector spec says 36 ft/lbs, but they have a habit of leaking so I did mine 45 ft/lbs - no problems.
