Each manufacturer will have a torque sequence, which you should find out. But, as general rule., you start in the middle, and work outwards in circle motion..drawing an imaginary circle above the head and extending outwards..you snuggly fit each bolt your finger moves over..until all bolts are snug. (Not tight or torqued yet) Now you torque as per manufacturer, or if you dont have that info, then repeat the same sequence above. You will need a torque wrench and the desired torque setting.

The head torque specs on a 07 Chevy Impala 3.8

It is important to remember that the cylinder head bolts used for these engines should be replaced any time the heads are re-installed. Failure to replace the bolts during head installation may reduce clamping force and head gasket service life.
To install new head bolts on these engines, use a torque angle tool and:

  1. Thoroughly clean the threads in the block using a 7/16-14 tap.
  2. Install the head gasket with the arrow pointing to the front of the engine.
  3. Install the new cylinder head bolts dry.
Notice: This bolt is designed to permanently stretch when tightened. The correct part number fastener must be used to replace this type of fastener. If the correct bolt is not used, the parts will not be tightened correctly and the engine may be damaged.
Step 1: Tighten all bolts in sequence (see Figure 1) to 35-37 ft.lbs. (49-50 Nm).
Step 2: Rotate each bolt 130 degrees

I need too know the torque specs on head bolts and crankcam 2.4 engine

on a 2002 2.4 engine head bolts are 'torqued to distance'.

First, install all the bolts, and, in a sequential fashion, starting at the innermost, working outward, torque all bolts to 70 N-m/806 kgf-cm/58 foot lbs.

Next, mark the front side of each head bolt with a dot of paint. Retighten the cylinder head bolts 90 degrees, starting at the inner 2, and working outward.I dont thin anything has changed on this engine since then.
