Hi Keith, and welcome to the forum. It's great to have another Z owner aboard.
According to the Clymer manual:
The 8mm bolts: 17-22 ft.-lb / 24-30 N-m.
The 6mm bolts: 7-10 " " / 10-14 "
The manual also say you should apply molybdenum disulfide grease to the threads prior to installation.

Head Bolts
Thanks for reply
I am a little confused with manual though, it quotes for 8mm bolts and 6 mm bolts. The bolts I am referring to are 12mm bolts the actual 12 bolts that retain the clyinder head not the cam carrier sorry if this sounds odd but I just cant seem to find any reference to 12mm bolts
P.S. Nice to be aboard
