When I rebuilt my 3.7, I used the torque values in the Schwartz manual for the head and the connecting rods.

So far (knock on wood), after about 2,500 miles, they have held up just fine.

I used new head bolt engineer tech but when I was torquing it . I did 22 but then the 155 degree seemed a lot I did 90 degree becuase it got really really hard and I didn’t want to snap it. Did you do 155 degree on the 2nd time?

I did 155 degrees on the second pass. It did seem extremely tight, but overall I didn’t have any issues with it. None of my bolts broke.

They provide specs for a reason, they are to be followed exactly. As in torque and any sequence provided.

Imagine an engine builder saying to a customer... "yeah we rebuilt your motor, but we did not follow torque specifications because we though they seamed tight. Please pay now and good luck."
