Are you sure it's 44ft/lb ?
Accrording to my Haynes manual it's 44 but some body with toyota manual said 22 lb + 909 degree + 90 degree
What I did was I torque it first at 22 lb then do 44 lb what happened was the 2nd (44lb) went less than 90' (about 65')
So the 22lb + 90 + 90 would be something like 60lb???
little Confuse here. ( Dont wanna do it again) (^_^)
Tip, Do you know that TRD head gasket is 27 cens cheaper than toyota OEM head gasket.

The only reason you would do diffrent than this is if you are using aftermarket bolt i.e. arp then you use arp's tourqe specs
