Default Torque sequence for the ITR head?

I am changing the head gasket and I need to know the torque sequence for the ITR head. How should I remove and reinstall it? Thanks.

The follwing numbers represent head bolts when viewed from above. The bottom numbers represent the head bolts closest to the front bumper. This is the tightening sequence that should be followed.

9 5 1 3 7
8 4 2 6 10

I have a feeling the tq seq will be the least of your problems.. perhaps you might take it to a shop that deals with building honda motors?

If I read between the lines of your question, you don't have an Helm manual and you want somebody on this board to tell you the steps on removing and reinstalling the head ? That is not the way to do things if you want a job well done.
The first thing you should, if you want to do the job yourself, is buy the Helm manual. Then you will have all the information you need to do the job. It is not as easy as removing 8 bolts in the right sequence.

Especially since there's 10 bolts!

8 bolts, 10 bolts....details, details. Once you have the right sequence for the first 8 bolts the last 2 are easy

I do it differently, but I guess everyone has different approaches on things.

7 3 1 5 9
8 4 2 6 10

remember, 63 ft/lb.

also, be sure to torque the cam rail bolts to 20 ft/lbs. also, using the same torque method as mentioned above. those are the 12mm ones. the 10mm ones, just tighten them as tight as you would do the valve cover nuts. 20 ft/lbs. on those, and you'll be using an extractor to remove the threads from the head. LOL.
