GPZ550 Head Retorque Procedure?

Hi All,

Trying to stop an oil seep on a GPZ550 shown here.
www.kzrider.com/forum/2-engine/599332-81...s-block-joint#686053

What would be the best procedure for retorquing a cylinder head on a KZ550. Only manual I have is a Clymer, is the torque pattern in the Clymer manual correct??

When retorqing do I loosen all in reverse order and retighten or loosen/torque in correct order? As the bolts are 40 years old and have 38K miles I was thinking of using some ARP torquing lube. Probably ought to do it on a really cold night too...

Just posted some pics of the bike in the gallery.
