You are quite correct....as far as you go. My Bentley (LPV 800 104) =
recommends exactly the procedure you outlined...IF your head bolts are =
the six-point socket-head type. If your head bolts are of the 12-point =
type, the procedure is somewhat different. =20
Who knows which type the man has?

TB,
Your partially correct. In one of my Bentleys (80-82), you need to =
tighten the head in four steps. First you go through the tightening =
sequence at 30 ft lb, then a second time at 44 ft lb, then a third time =
at 55 ft lb. The last time you use a breaker bar and you make a precise =
1/4 turn "with no hesitation in the bolt's movement".
Bottom line I wouldn't do this without a torque wrench. If you need =
one I have several. Let me know when and we'll try to connect. For =
that matter, pick a weekend and if I'm free I'll come over and help. =
Tightening a head won't take too long.
