Hi does anyone know the torque wrench settings for the head bolts for a 1.6 Petrol Sportrack?

According to my manual they should be as below. Pick the one your wrench is measured in. The manual says to coat each bolt with a thin film of oil and tighten them evenly in 2 or 3 stages to the final setting below. The should be tightened, starting with the centre pair and alternately working out towards the ends. Hope this helps.
