Never knew the torque increases but, all nuts get 35 then 45 and then fully tighten. And this method certainly cannot hurt anything and keeps the head and block mating equally to the gasket. And, get a crows foot for the nut by the distributor. (and keep it where you can find it!) Let us know how it works out!
