I'm replacing the cylinder head gasket on my 03 Sportsman 700.When putting it back together How tight do you tighten the bolts using a torque wrench? Thanx

 

My book for my 05 says 35 plus or minus 4 lbs. + 1/4 turn.. It says lubricate threads and between washer and underside of bolt with engine oil. Torque in sequence to spec provided, allow the gasket to set for 1 minute, then tighten in sequence 90 degrees or 1/4 turn.

Sequence:
