240 inch pounds in two stages, evenly sucking head down. Exact pattern not important, I prefer to start on the center bolts and work my way out on those motors. Again, as long as you pull it down evenly, you are good.

Also, I like to put a little grease on the o-rings so the head will slide on them instead of rolling them out of the boss (grove) if you move the head around to find the threads in the jug during assembly. Grease also "primes" the o-rings as well.
