Hi,

No problem whatsoever. When you install the heads, note there are different directions for each side. The torque is the same.

Additionally, note torquing requires a few steps. You really should have an angle-degree torque wrench gauge. They are inexpensive. I attached a pic of one from Amazon. It's under ten dollars. Once you do a basic torque of 59 foot-pounds, the next passes are done by the degrees the bolt turns.

I placed an L and R on the pictures, so you know which is the left and right head.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
