If nobody has gotten this for you I will look it up and post when I get home.

Here is what you need according to bentley ... and heed the warning about piston/valve collision avoidance.

Tighten cylinder head in tightening sequence as follows:
- Pretighten all bolts to 40 Nm (30 ft lb).
- Tighten all bolts 1/4 turn (90) further using a rigid wrench.
- Tighten all bolts a 1/4 turn (90) further.

Note: When the camshaft is turned, the crankshaft must not be at TDC. Danger of damage to valves or piston crowns.

Sorry ... That was the image for the loosening sequence. Tightening is the following.
