Here it is right out of the service manual:

1. Before installing the bolts the threads should be oiled with engine oil. The 4 short bolts 110 mm (4.330 in.) are to be installed in positions 7, 8, 9, and 10

2. Tighten the cylinder head bolts in the sequence shown in Cylinder Head Tightening Sequence Using the 4 step torque method, tighten according to the following values:
First All to 34 N·m (25 ft. lbs.)
Second All to 68 N·m (50 ft. lbs.)
Third All to 68 N·m (50 ft. lbs.)
Fourth Turn an additional 1/4 Turn, Do not use a torque wrench for this step.
