With oem bolts..put some teflon paste on the threads and some oil under the the head of the bolt.Torque them from the center outward to 50 ft lbs and then finish them off with 75 ft lbs.Some may say 75 lbs on the longs and 65 ft lbs on the shorts.but I have no issues with 75 ft lbs across the board.Again..torque them in 2 stages.
