Just enough to keep the headgasket from leaking and no more.

Step 1: Torque to 27 ft. lbf
Step 2: Mark the cylinder head bolt head with paint (towards the front of the engine) and tighten the head bolts 90°
Step 3: Tighten the cylinder head bolts by an additional 90° (painted mark should now be facing the rear of the engine)

These specs is for 2GR-FSE
