I tried the FAQ and searching, and I have a service manual for the car on my computer but the little numbers on the tightening sequence are blacked out I can't read it...

All I need to know is if the tightening sequence for the head bolts is the same as the loosening sequence?

 

Someone has to know the answer to this question...

 

The head bolts are loosened from the outside working toward the center of the head just like in your diagram. The tightening sequence for installation is starting from the center working your way out, opposite of the loosening sequence. Makes sense right.

Also, on your computer, try enlarging the diagram and the numbers will be more clear.

I did I took it up to 300% I think whoever scanned it didn't have a very high quality scanner or something... but yeah that makes sense and that is what I was trying to find out. Thank you for the info.
