The head bolts are stretch type bolts. What you will probably find is an initial torque setting then two stages of tightening based on degrees of turn.
For expample, and this is just made up numbers: 30ftlbs > 90 Deg > 90deg

Thanks for your responce. Just completed head gasket replacement machine shop repaired crack. Motor is steaming out tailpipe, So far I see no sign water in oil, could their be other reasons besides a failed repair of the crack by machine shop.

The steam could be normal for cold start in your the climate or residual moisture in the oil.
How much time have you given it to warm up? What color is the steam, white, blue? Does it smell sweet? I would let it warm up, then drive it and keep an eye on the oil and coolant.
