Even FORD issued more than one set of instructions, some people follow neither it has to be said.
There are very differing views on this.
I can't remember the sequence, but do mine 60lbft, 90 lbft, then finish at 120lbft.
LEAVE THE GASKET FOR AT LEAST TWO HOURS, then retorque to 120lbft, as it will be loose.

Just the head bolts, or if using stud and nut kit, those.
