I can't find any information about torque settings for cylinder head.
I have change gaskets and should now begin the tightening.
The engine is an 6.2 diesel 1989 "J" model heavy duty.

The bolts are a "Torque to yield" type and are only used once.
New ones are available from most parts stores and come with a torque spec sheet.
The procedure is to torque to 20 lbs through the sequence then 50 lbs through the sequence then give each bolt 1/4 turn more.
Use new bolts with the sealer on the threads as these bolts go though to water

Hope this helps :)
