for the 1.6L engine its 3 passes, 26 Ft Lbs then 41 , then 52.

for the 2.0L DOHC engine, its a bit different. you will have 6 total steps. bolts 1-10 will be tightend as follows:

39 Ft Lbs, then 61, then FULLY loosen bolts, tighten again to 39 then a second pass to 61.

final bolt 11 will be tighten only once to 76 Ft. Lbs.
