Not 90 loose. But 90 tight after the poundage settings.

reread the sequence in the manual.

Right, as I said. The final thing you do is 180° on all bolts, 90° at a time.

 

Tighten cylinder head bolts.

(1) Apply a coat of engine oil to washers and bolt threads.

(2) Tighten all bolts to 29 N·m (3.0 kg-m, 22 ft-lb) in alphabetical sequence. Then tighten all bolts to 69 N·m (7.0 kg-m, 51 ft-lb) in alphabetical sequence.

(3) Back off all bolts by 180° first; back them off by 180° again.

(4) Tighten bolts (A) and (B) to 34 N·m (3.5 kg-m, 25 ft-lb).

(5) Tighten bolts ©, (D), (E) and (F) to 15 N·m (1.5 kg-m, 11 ft-lb).

(6) Tighten all bolts by 80 to 90° in alphabetical sequence.

(7) Further tighten all bolts by 80 to 90° in alphabetical sequence.

 

CAUTION: Ensure that the total “re-tightening angle” [in the two previous steps] do not exceed 180°.

 

That's right out of the FSM. Some versions number the bolts by letter, some do by number. It's the exact same thing.

I've used these exact directions many times, and never an issue with it.

 

If you only tightened the head bolts to 25 and 11 ft/lbs, and ran the engine. You've ruined the new head gaskets. Start over.
