Done a bit of a search, but cant seem to find much. Any one of you guys know what the torque setting is on a 325i Head?

(Need to tighten it up)

Cheers

Not 100% sure but I think it was 30nm each, then turn all 90 degrees, then 90 degrees again.

Any one else know? 30 sounds a bit low to me, although cheers for the bit about 90 degree's
