hi,I hope you don't mind my input,and is not related to your question .if you are replacing the head gasket due to failure,I would strongly recommend that you inspect the cylinder head for any signs of damage in the location where the gasket faild,worth considering getting the head skimmed.

The valve clearances are inlet 0.2mm exhaust 0.38mm with the engine cold.

Head torque is 70Nm then again 70Nm then +90 deg.

The sequence is
