Can someone get me the loosening bolt sequence for the cylinder heads? My brother is looking for it to do head gaskets on his truck

This is the tightening sequence.



SI doesn't have a loosening sequence, and doesn't specify that they need to be removed in order.

No sequence is specified for removal. Here is the tightening sequence.

 -  Install the bolts.

    -  Tighten the bolts in five stages in the sequence shown.
    1  Tighten the bolts to 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.).
    2  Loosen the bolts one full turn.
    3  Tighten the bolts to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).
    4  Tighten the bolts 90°.
    5  Tighten the bolts an additional 90°.

So you think he’ll be alright loosening them in any order but tighten in the directions you found?

I don't think the loosening matters? Tightening, definitely.

I don't think you'll have any problem. But, if you have any doubt, or concern, loosen them in the reversed order of tightening.
