head reassembly

I got this with the new head bolts. https://www.dropbox.com/s/douij6efx2...30547.jpg?dl=0

Correct assembly instructions?

looks good to me
just trying to get the head down evenly,
so 35-45 lbs on heads then 5 lbs on intake
Then slowly work your way up to 59 on heads and 10 on intake
use silicone where it is needed
that final 1/4 turn gets the heads up to 60lbs
maybe a guru will confirm or say 70lbs and 15lbs on intake is better targets
