Ford 1.9 liter engine. What are the specs for the Head Bolts, and what is the sequence/spec for each step. I am replacing the Head Gasket, leaking coolant into Exhaust, and out Tailpipe. Mechanic said I had a bad Head Gasket. Hopefully all that is wrong with it. Motor has about 60,000 on rebuild.

Thank you for the Information
