If you look in the service manual I posted, you'll see that it says 25-30 ft.lbs for the head bolts. Just like norm said, the 400 in. lb. (or 33 1/3 ft. lb.) spec. is a little over. I've never had a Kohler apart. so I can't speak from experience. You should follow the sequence that's given in the service manual. It's important, too.
