called ARP

They told it makes no difference if the head is aluminum or iron, and the head gasket make no difference either.

Put thread sealant on all bolts so the friction is the same, use engine oil or arp moly lube on the shoulder of the bolts where it contacts the washer, the washer should have the "divot" up facing the bolt head

torque in 3steps
20
40
the final 70
