The M12 bolts are torqued at 55 Nm, (40.56 ft. pounds) then turned 90 degrees in the same sequence, then another 90 degrees in the same sequence. The M 8 bolts (4 in front) are torqued at 25 Nm, (18.45 ft. pounds). Intake Manifold: 17 ft. pounds Exhaust Manifold: 15 ft. pounds Camshaft sprocket bolt: 59 ft. pounds Timing chain tensioner housing: 11.1 ft. pounds Timing chain tensioner cap: 52 ft. pounds Belt tensioning lock down bolt: 59 ft. pounds Valve cover: 11 ft. pounds Metal thermostat housing: 7.4 ft. pounds I assume that your neighbor knows how to remove the 2 slide rail bolts to get access to the front M8 bolt. Also, you can put a wrench on the rear of the camshaft to hold it when removing the camshaft sprocket bolt. Make sure to mark the chain, sprocket, and camshaft location so the re-installation goes back to the correct timing. After I removed the timing chain tensioner and camshaft sprocket, I used a tie wrap through the chain links to keep it securely in place. Good luck, Dave

You're welcome Don. Don't hesitate to ask any specific questions concerning removing/replacing the head or any related parts.
