Head bolts, four steps 65, 85, 100, 100 ft lbs

Start in the center under the valve cover, work in circles to the ends for the torque pattern.

Valve rocker bolts 20 ft lbs
Intake manifold 24 ft lbs
Rocker cover bolts 72 in lbs
Exhaust manifold bolts 20 ft lbs

The sequence is the same for 6.9 or 7.3 but the torque values are higher like Dave said. The first 2 steps do in NUMBER order then the last 2 steps INLINE formation.
