Clyinder Head Bolt Torque Spec - 300CE

Hello All,

I just wanted to pick everyones brain a bit. I just finished lowering down my cylinder head (89 300 CE 3.0). My manual states the following torque specs:

1- 70nm (52 lbs/ft) Stage-1

2- Angle-tighten through a further 90 degrees - Stage 2

3- Angle-tighten through a further 90 degrees - Stage 3


Some specs for my Jag seem to be the similar. I'm I understanding correctly?

First torque to 70nm / 52 lbsft through the proper sequence. Then Go through the sequence again 90 degrees further. Then Go through the Sequence the 3rd time another 90 degrees further?

Seems straight forward but the wording seems a little "funny" to me. (Why not just list additional torque specs like most other engines?) - for my own understanding.

Thanks
