Great list 
i am too lazy to look it up in the manual
head bolts and smiliar bolt need to be lube'd before torqueing down.
if not, the torque wrench will read friction reading instead of real reading.
make sure you know the difference between
static vs kinetic friction
N vs lb/ft
lb/inch vs ft/inch
remember torque=Fr, if you are sissy and can't afford a impact gun, increase the radius of the handle of the wrench will "make" more torque. you can do so in term of breaker bar, or slip in cheater bar. Make sure you read the torque rating on your wrench before you slip a 10 foot bar there, most of the cheap taiwanese special will not last over 200 lb/ft
