What is the torque pattern for the heads?

I'm in the process of changing the head gaskets, but don't know or understand the torque process on the head when I put it back together agian with the new gaskets and new bolts.

@ivanbendana what engine size, 2.4, 3.7 or a 2.5 Diesel?

Gasoline 3.7 L V6 engine. Chrysler's pain in the ass.

@ivanbendana let's start with the 3.7.

NOTE: The cylinder head bolts are tightened using an angle torque procedure, however, the bolts are not a torque-to-yield design.
(6) Tighten the bolts in sequence using the following steps and torque values:
† Step 1: Tighten bolts 1–8, 27 N·m (20 ft. lbs.).
† Step 2: Verify that bolts 1–8, all reached 27 N·m (20 ft. lbs.), by repeating step-1 without loosening the bolts. Tighten bolts 9 thru 12 to 14 N·m (10 ft. lbs.).
† Step 3: Tighten bolts 1–8, 90 degrees (Fig. 32).

@dadibrokeit well you know what they say. Even a broken clock is right twice a day :-)
