Mike: The plugs are torqued to 30 Nm or 22 lb-ft. The coil cover spec
is 10 Nm, so about 7 or 8 lb-ft. I would suspect the cam cover to head
torque is in between about 15 lb-ft. I don't think an order is
necessary but nevertheless, good practise would include getting them all
down tight-ish and then working out from the middle to the ends,
crossing from side to side on the way to the ends. More importantly,
the front two bolts are longer than any of the others so you want to
make sure you don't try the shorter ones in the front holes, they will
just spin. I have attached a couple of jpgs for you.
