Head-bolts will need to be torqued-up to 25Nm first (torque wrench) then stage two is angle-tighten 270 deg (angle gauge).
All bolts have to be done in a specific order and you need to study a Haynes manual first, then pray you don't do more harm than good. Valve-clearance adjustment is a must as well imho and that requires skill and trial and error depending on the condition of the specific engine.

Yes, that's right: 'Boom, snapy-snapy'
Thank you thats what i needed to know, the seal around the head gasket is leaking a lot of oil i have basic knowledge with engines but one thing ive never done is a head gasket, like i said i dont want to stop half way to find that i dont have the right tool im going to lock myself in the garage and not come out until its done, i dont feel the need to skim it as i dont think its that bad i would just change the seal but while im there i might aswell change the gasket.
