There's normally a piece of paper in the headgasket packaging that gives you the torque setting recommended by the gasket manufacturer.

It IS a new gasket, isn't it?

That sounds about right to me, although my 16v had one 180 degree turn at the end not, two 90 degrees.

SDall, Remember theres a bolt sequence too!!
