First time Chrysler owner need help!
My wife's dad past away and left us his 2009 300, 3.5L. It has a blow head gasket, I've already got heads and cleaned everything up ect. I've done head jobs before. I'm pretty mechanicly inclined. But I can't for the life of me find the proper torque specs for the head bolts! I found some for the original 3.5 from the 90s apparently, (there went a set of head bolts down the drain.) Can anyone here help me? It's a very nice car.

The 8 main/large 3.5l head bolts are torque-to-yield. They are all first torqued to 35 ftlbs in sequence, then to 55 ftlbs in sequence. The last step is an additional 90 degree turn in sequence. The last step is not by torque but by 1/4 turn. The 3 smaller bolts are 20 ftlbs.
