I just picked up a '96 850 R Wagon with a blown headgasket. Doing the headgasket (yes, I'm taking the head to a machine shop) is no problem. I've read on AllData for doing this job, but I don't care for their headbolt torque sequence. Can someone possibly provide me with Volvo's recomended sequence? If they are the same, so be it. I just want to make sure.

Thanks!
Tim
