Why's that? now that I know that there is a "pettern" I'll do it the right way.. personally I don't think it matters, as long as they get torqued in order (ie.10,9,6,5,2,1,4,3,8,7)

if you torque one side first it can bind the headgastket and guess what......cause a leak.

From my understanding there is an order. Here is the only thing I have found so far. That's how I do mine, work your way out for the center. Supposedly it flattens the gasket out and doesn't bunch it up. |

doesn't that depend on which rocker you are adjusting?

As posted before, this is the correct torque sequence. Using APR 7/16 bolts I tighten them in 4 steps. 30#, 50#, 75#, then 85# on the longer "intake side" bolts. No problems so far.  |
