Head bolt specs are 40NM plus a 90 degree turn. You'll need a angle gauge to do this. I picked one up at Autozone for 10 bucks.

As for timing, line up the two arrows on the crankshaft gear to the two copper colored chain links, and then line up the arrow on the camshaft gear to the one copper colored chain link.
