Doing head gaskets on a 2000 Frontier. 15 steps of tighten/loosen/tighten head and intake manifold bolts. :bang::bang::bang::bang::bang:

Most TTY fasteners require to be partially torqued, then loosened, then tightened slightly more, then loosened to provide proper stretch of the bolt. Very common with high strength rod bolts.
