When removing head bolts what is the proper sequence for a 08 civic si I read start in the middle and remove in a x cross pattern also read to remove in reverse of the torque sequence both turning 1/3 revolution per bolt until loose, I read if not done right the head can warp.
Thanks

You will not have a problem undoing from middle to outer and in steps, but you should have the head checked for cracks, warp and bend as a precaution, this should be done whenever a head is removed.
