If you are actually that far, you need a service manual for the torque sequence. Chilton'* #28200 at a bare minimum.
This would be the best:

Tony, your overheating problem was very likely a failed upper intake manifold. Make sure you address that. This is a very common problem that will get every single L36 engine out there eventually.
As far as the torque sequences are concerned, I intentionally left them out of Techinfo for the primary reason that if you're that far into the engine, you should already have a service manual.
Having torqued heads myself, I can tell you they are torque-to-yield bolts that are one-time use only. You have to get it right the first time. You torque a certain amount, then again, then again. Some by torque, some by angle, and it must be in the proper sequence. These are not the only bolts you need this for. The rocker arm bolts are also torque-to-yield.
You should have a service manual to do this work. There is no question.
