Ok, I just found torque specs on the web here and they are totally different from what the book says and the torque sequence is different too
That is weird I hope I dont run into any problems because I used the book's specs.

Thats the torque specs for 86/87. Setup is different: gasket/gasket thickness, deck height, blah blah blah...... plus torque-to-yield bolts from factory which is why the funky torque instructions. I believe last time I torqued mine [on '84 block] to 85~ft/lbs using ARP bolts.Originally posted by 1QUICK85

Disregard the "weird" torque sequence. You can use any of the sequences shown in the Chilton/ Haynes type of manuals. I usually get all the bolts on there maybe hand tight. Then follow the sequence and torque to about half the end ft/lb amount (40ish?), then through the sequence again to the end amount (85). If you so desire break it into three steps (not really necessary though), just wouldnt torque straight to end amount right away.
