Cylinder head bolt tightening sequence Toyota tercel 1.5?

The correct cylinder head bolt tightening sequence for a Toyota Tercel 1.5 is as follows:

1. The two outer bolts on the camshaft side should be tightened first, 17 ft/lbs (23 Nm)

2. Then, the two center bolts on the camshaft side should be tightened to 17 ft/lbs (23 Nm)

3. Following this, the two bolts on the intake manifold side, closest to the camshaft, should be tightened to 17 ft/lbs (23 Nm)

4. Next, the two bolts on the intake manifold side, closest to the distributor, should be tightened to 17 ft/lbs (23 Nm)

5. Finally, the two remaining bolts on the intake manifold side should be tightened to 17 ft/lbs (23 Nm)

It is important to follow this sequence in order to ensure that the cylinder head is properly sealed and to avoid any damage to the engine. Be sure to use a torque wrench to ensure you tighten the bolts to the correct specifications.
