    I have them as 1st stage 40nm or 30lbft, 2nd stage 60nm or 45lbft, 3rd stage + 90deg, 4th stage + 90deg.

    Make sure the thread holes in the head are all clean and free of fluids by cleaning them out with a rag and thin screw driver.

    Is it not 90 degrees x 2, or is that just to keep in the extra power of the 16v engines?

    You are correct, I have edited to confirm to strict danster regs.
    I am not answering the phone mid post and getting distracted again from now on.
