Head Bolt Torque Pattern

Hopefully I will be putting new head gaskets in tonight, and I dont have a service manual and need to know the tightening procedure. If somebody could post or send me the specs and pattern that would be greatly appreciated.

Be sure threads are clean and lubricated with engine oil prior to torquing.

Oil the bolt shoulders too. Let the excess oil drain off so you don't get oil squirted onto the deck when you thread the bolts into it.
