super a torque

Dont know the correct 'pattern'.What I do is start in the center of head and tighten bolts in an alternating pattern working out towards ends..Do this in 3 stages, finishing up at correct torque.I like to recheck them a final time.Never had a failure with this method.
 
Not yet we have been waiting on the head to get checked and every thing checked out with it so we didnt have the right torque setting because oil was gettig on cylinder 1 and the head bolts were lose
 
I just did the head on my 240, which is basically the same.

There are 9 bolts. A row of 4 along the manifold side, and a row of 5 along the distributor side.

Standing on the distributor side:

1 - 2 - 3 - 4
5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9

I started with bolt #7, then #3, then #2, then #6, then #8, then #4, then #1, then #5, then #9, then #4.

Torque spec is 65ft-lbs in the book, but I did some research and several knowledgeable sources have told me the spec was updated to 80ft-lbs. I torqued in 4 stages, snug, 40, 60, and 80.

Right or wrong, that's what I did, and I got away with it so far.
