1456 407T Head Gasket

Installing a new head gasket on a 407T. Anything special i need to do to the head gasket or clean and dry? First time on a 407 and want to make sure i get it right. Also is there a updated head torque or sequence or just follow the IT manual? Will the head need to be re torqued after a warm up and cool down? Thank you

Myself i use copper coat on the gskt. , I also chase the head bolt holes with a bottoming tap and flush them out with brake kleen and compressed air . Run a thread chaser over the heal bolts and torque it down in three steps , myseolf i usuall do a 40 to 50 first pull down then around 90 and go for the final . Warm the engine to operatin temp and let the whole engine get warmed up the run the final torque again and reset the valves . I like to put around fifty hours on them and recheck and reset valves again.
