Default Questions about doing head gaskets on a 1995 4.0L

Hi all-
Im doing head gaskets on my cousins 95' Ranger with a 4.0L and I have a couple questions that Im hoping I can get some help with.

1- What are the torque specs on the head bolts?

2- On my 5.0L Mustang you are supposed to use 30 weight oil on the top head bolts and a little bit of silicone on the bottoms because the run through water jackets,,, Is this the same with re-installing head bolts on the 4.0L?

3-Torque specs on the lower intake?

4- How should I tighten down the rocker arms? When i removed them it seemed like when Im re-installing I should go over the bolts evenly but I didn't know if this is necessary or not.

5- Is there ANYTHING else that people who have done this job can tell me to ease the process along??

I thank everyone very much in advance for there help
-Devin

Heres some good advice for you. Go to your local auto parts store and purchase the chilton manual for $25. Best thing for you. I dont want to look it up and I dont think anyone else does. The book will tell you torque specs and anything else you might need to know. Also helps to use the search button and google. That is all.

If I need to do that I will if I can't get the answer here. I really don't mind looking it up online but i'm used to people helping eachother out on specialty forums like this one.
If I had a chiltons for this and somebody had a question i'd personally take the two minutes of looking through it to help them out and save them the $25 dollars, but I guess that's just me. Thanks anyways bud.
