headbolts - torque them down in 3 steps.
1st step-21 ft/lbs then back off 1/2 turn
2nd step-42 ft/lbs then back off 1/2 turn
final step-62 ft/lbs*

tighten the bolts in this sequence-----> 9 5 1 3 7
.................................................. ......8 4 2 6 10


cam caps - Torque the 10mm bolts to 8ft/lbs first then torque the 12mm bolts to 20 ft/lbs (torque slowly these bolts break easy)

Using this sequence-------> 9 5 1 3 7
........................................8 4 2 6 10

valve cover bolts/nuts -just take a a loose socket and tighten them by hand,its only about 7 ft/lbs (these bolts break very very easily)

im not sure the exact sequence but just start in the middle and work your way out like so-

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