head bolt torque help

I need to know the torque settings and firing order of a 2.3 liter 4-cylinder in an 89 mustang. It's my friends, and I'm fixing it for him before he screws it up any more(thats why I need the firing order).

The firing order is 1-3-4-2, and the rotor turns clockwise.

Cylinder head bolts are tightened in two steps, first to 50-60 ft lbs, then to 80-90 ft lbs. They are "torque to yield" bolts, so be sure to use new ones.

Good luck.
