Not specified. Run the bolt in by hand far as you can. Then use a ratchet or box end wrench and give no more pressure than it would take to lift a watermelon. A torque wrench is too long and would likely provide too much force.

Install the cylinder head bolts. Starting at top center, tighten all cylinder head bolts in sequence as shown in illustration, using the Cylinder Head Bolt Wrench (09221 - 32001) or equivalent. Repeat the procedure, re-tightening all cylinder head bolt to the specified torque. (torque spec is Cold Engine 105-115 Nm (76-83 ft lb) )

Revised Bulletin
This TSB supersedes the Cylinder Head Bolt Torque Specifications previously described in TSB # 96-20-003, TSB # 96-20-003-1 and TSB # 97-20-004.
DESCRIPTION:
This bulletin provides torque specification corrections to the 1996 and 1997 Elantra Shop Manual, 1997 Elantra Service Data Book, 1997 Tiburon Shop Manual and 1997 Tiburon Service Data Book.

(M12) 35 Nm (350 kg.cm; 26 lb.ft) + (60°to 65°) + (60°to 65°)

You have two bolt sizes the shorter or smaller of the two sizes is called M10 the torque is 22ft lbs +65 degrees +65 degrees again The larger of the two bolts is called a M12 the torque for these are 26ft lbs +65+65. There is a tightening order staring at the top center bolt and working in a circle They have to be torqued in three steps. If you dont under stand something about this repost and I can help you farther. If this is helpful please mark that it was I do this for free to help people DRIVE SAFE TIM
