    Read some posts where they say torque 322 nailheads at 65-75 lbs. , starting with 25 lbs., going to 45, then 65 or 70. Then they say to going around them a second time.That's how it's worded. Not to sound dumb but the second time you go around, wouldn't you go around at 75, where the bolts are already tightened to that,or start at 25 again? Sorry for the dumb question, Thanks for any info.

    You need a shop manual.
    They can be had on Ebay in paper and DVD. I got a DVD from Rock Auto

    three times around.
    25 lb.
    50 lb.
    75 lb.

    Good Luck

    Final round, re-check all at 75 ft lb. That is to be sure none were missed and that all retained torque.

    Right.
    I left that out.
    After engine warm up. Go around a fourth time re torquing to 75 pounds
