what does it mean by stage 1, 2 or 3????????

Cylinder Head Screws:
- Stage 1 >> 29 lb-ft
- Stage 2 >> 51 lb-ft
- Stage 3 >> 78 lb-ft

it's just progressive steps. 78 is your final desired value.

Question: By "Balance Shaft Pulley Screw >> 22 lb-ft"
is this supposed to be the balance shaft tensior bolt, should be 33 ft-lb

Question: By Flywheel Screws is that supposed to be flywheel to crankshaft and if so its 76 not 77. I know its only 1 off, but if we are going to sticky something shouldnt the number be correct?

Not trying to bust bubbles here just trying to get correct info displayed.
Great sticky tho, very well needed.

Thanks for input. I personally only added what I know is correct from Helms, but most of this was put up by another member. I reformatted it for ease of use.

I did not include drain plugs on purpose, I feel those self-explanatory. The 33 lb-ft you mention is for adjuster nut, the 22 lb-ft refers to the front balance shaft pulley screw.
