Cylinder head install

[crackerican69]

I need some assistance with what is probably a stupid question. I recently cracked my head and got one to replace it.

I don't really deal with heads and timing all that often. I know the head bolts have to be torqued, loosened, torqued, and torqued again. Now do I do this one bolt at a time, or do I do it in "sets?" By sets, I mean:

Torque all, loosen all, torque all, then torque all again.

Individual:

T, L, T, T one bolt at a time.

Going to be re-installing the head tomorrow morning.

you have to do it in the proper order, cant do one at a time. doing it in the sequence makes sure that its seats on the block evenly

I would get and follow what the factory service manual states.

I must have missed that part when reading the manual. It clearly states the proper sequence in which to tighten bolts. Thanks...
