at my work, my boss says start in the middle and work your way out. itll probably take 15 or 20 passes to get all bolts completely torqued.

289 and 302 should be the same[&:]

i'd go to like 18 max, those damn bolts LOVE to strip out..... and yes go over them again and again until they are all even or you'll have leaks

I went to 15ftlbs indicated by the wrench ...should be good to go
should I re torque them after it heats and cools off?

Yes, It would be a good idea[sm=smiley20.gif]
Get the engine to operating temp then let it cool down and retorque.
