Hi James:
Don't know if there's a really formal way, but here's what I've always done:
- 4 "corners" closest to the crank. Gently progressively snug them to lift the pan squarely against the block.
- all the rest - turn in until they barely touch the pan, then gently snug them to about how the first four were. THEN, starting at the centre, tighten out to the ends, one end at a time.
- I'm pretty sure there may be at least a dozen different people who may do it slightly differently, but THE MOST IMPORTANT PART (except for not forgetting the gasket) is to get it SQUARE to the block to start with.
Cheers:
