These specs are for stock-type bolts with light engine oil applied to the threads and the underside of the bolt head. Moly and other lubes offer reduced friction and increased bolt tension, which will affect the torque figure. If you use after-market performance bolts like ARP's, you should follow the recommended torque specifications.

its not very hard at all. once you get the heads off just make sure you follow the proper sequence to tighten the bolts. always remember to tighten from the center bolts out to the end bolts so the heads seat flat and even. and make sure you have the proper torque specs for those head bolts. 1) hand tighten. 2) torque to half of the OEM spec. 3) full torque spec. all of this takes a while to do so be patient.
