Free mojito for the first person to correctly tell me the head bolt torque and valve lash settings for the 4g15 I am screwing together.

It is a motor found in colts, eagle summits and mirages, and a bunch more. This one is from a 94 eagle summit.

Using sequence shown in Fig. 4, tighten cylinder head bolts in two or three steps to a final torque of 53 ft. lbs . Cylinder head bolts must be tightened in two or three steps to ensure correct cylinder head to cylinder block seating.

Thanks Shane. The car runs and hasn't pushed out the head gasket or banged any valves so I guess you get the mojito.
