Anyone know where i can find the Tq specs for a b16a? More so the head bolts because I need a new head gasket cause its leaking a little.

Sounds like you need a Helms manual!

I say buy a set of ARP head studs, they dont stretch like oem and can be reused. Also I dont think theyre that expensive really.

Studs are to be tightened down in 2 steps: 22ft/lbs and then 61ft/lbs
Apply clean oil to the threads (seriously, no moly lube because it throws off tq readings...I know)

As for the nuts, they go in this order~
Intake: 9 5 1 3 7
Exhaust: 8 4 2 6 10
Work in stages, first 22lbs, then maybe 48, and finally 61ft/lbs. You dont have to do a middle range, but I think its a good idea.

Dont strip your block!
Oh, and you might want to consider some copper spray for the gasket too.
