Anyone know the head bolt torque sequence for my 428(edelbrock heads)? I found the torque specs but can't find the sequence. Thanks for any help.

Here's the sequence guys:
9 5 1 3 7
10 6 2 4 8

Not positive on the torque but in three steps, go 70, 80 & 90 ft-lbs. and then 100 on the longer bolts. I've also seen where some guys will go 100 on the short & 110 ft-lbs on the long.

Edelbrock heads with ARP bolts and ARP moly lube - 85 ft.lbs.
Using 30 wt. oil instead of moly - 100-110 ft.lbs.

Edelbrock say's 110lbs. on top row, 100lbs on the bottom with their bolts(ARP) and ARP lube.
ARP say's 85Lbs with their lube. 75lbs. if aluminum.
Which is right?????????
