Download a FSM. I have no experience with SRs. But if I was doing the job, that is what I would trust over what some people post on the internet(yes, some people give good info, but its good to double check)

I just do a cross pattern... I doubt it matters as my cover isn't torqued in 3 different places (2 of the bolts are broken off the head and one nut is missing) and no oil leaks.. Motor is put the 8k+ regularly on the weekends too..

most torque sequences are generally the same. to tighten is from the inside, out in a cross pattern. and to loosen, start from the outside working towards the middle in a cross pattern. but like KA-T 240 said, double check and download an fsm.
