With the fresh head in place, it's time to torque down the nuts for the ARP head studs. 
Karla carefully torquing the head studs to spec in a step pattern as well as in the Honda recommended numbered pattern as to which to tighten in what order.  These details lead to a proper clamping force on the gasket.
