there are dif settings.
ive seen 3 so far:
25nm 3 x 60
25nm 3 x 90
25nm 3x 65(victor reinze headgasket)
not sure on the other 2 which is which, but i dont like doing 3 x 90, feels far too tight and like a bolts going to pull through, i just do 3 x 65 tbh

I know a guy that had a good few XEs and did all his own maintenance - did many a headgasket and he always used to use this setting, don't know if that's why he had to do them so often though right enough!
