[Gmecm] 88 Buick 3.8L V6

[Scott Feaver]

Yes they are torque-to-yield..    I just put my heads back on a couple of
nights ago on a 89 Lesabre with a Vin C 3.8L..

I have to double check in a few minutes for you, but I thought I'd post this
right now anyhow.

I believe the spec was to 35 lb-ft, then 130 degrees, and then 30 more on
all.

In about half an hour I can get at my service book to confirm but I think
thats right.    Do you need the tightening sequence also?
