SOURCE: head bolts torque settings

According to my haynes manual for G-S reg, 1989-1998 it goes as follows,
Stage 1:- Tighten all bolts by hand until bolt heads just contact cyl. head.
Stage 2:-Tighten all bolts to 40Nm or 30lb ft.
Stage 3:-Angle tighten all bolts a further 60 degrees.
Stage 4:-Angle tighten all bolts again a further 60 degrees.
Stage 5:- M12 x 140mm bolts ONLY angle tighten a further 20 degrees.
Hope this helps everyone, sorry it seems longwinded but that is how it's written in the manual.

Head bolts are torque to yeild so you MUST use new bolts.
Tighten cylinder head retaining bolts in numerical sequence in three steps as follows:

1. 20 Nm (15 lb-ft).

1. 40 Nm (30 lb-ft).

1. 50 Nm (37 lb-ft)

• Tighten to 40-50 Nm (30-37 lb-ft).
• Rotate an additional 175-185 degrees.
• Go to next bolt in sequence.

• Tighten to 20-30 Nm (15-22 lb-ft).
• Rotate an additional 175-185 degrees.
• Go to next bolt in sequence.
