Stage 1-60 lbf-ft > stage 2-80 lbf-ft > Angle-tightening through 90-deg.-. I don't think its recommended that you want to do this. If anything, I would just flush your radiator and add new antifreeze. I would think if your antifreeze is BLUE when NEW, than it will turn gray normally. If your antifreeze is oily, then I would be concern or the dip-stick for the oil check has foaming/cream color on it. If you do want to still tighten the head bolts, than just go to 80 lbf-ft. You see, the bolts stretch when you do the final stage of tightening and there is a chance of breaking them into the head. Ask yourself, "Does the car run fine" ???????????????????
