The order doesn't matter as long as you do them cross-ways and build the torque in a couple of steps, ie take them all to 10 ftlbs then to 15ftlbs then to rated torque. Cam.

I like to do the 500 head in a criss cross patern like it was round and then pick up the power valve chamber like an after thought.
