torque settings

im i right in saying the head bolts are 20nm then a 180 degree turn after there all tightened in the correct order?
inlet manifold/trumpet housing 26nm?
exhaust manifolds 20nm?
think these are right was just wanting confirmation

can anyone confirm these settings then?

Head bolts 20nm (15 lb ft) in correct order then 90 degrees in correct order, then a further 90 degrees in correct order. Don't tighten 180 degrees in one go. Go over them several times at 20 nm to make sure they are all at that torque before you start the angle tighten. Best to do them wait a while then go over them again to be sure of the 20 nm initial setting. Others torques sound reasonable.

xcheers wammers thought thats what they were just wanted clarification from someone that experience i have the order of bolts tightened here and the 6 long ones thats the middle 3 either head at valves yes i have everything ready to go for tomorrow morning picking heads up at 8am so all go

Yes the middle three on each head near the rocker shaft. Make sure there is no oil, water, debris in bolt holes, or you may hydraulic the bolts. Very lightly oil bolt threads.
