Looking for torque specs and sequence for my car listed above with 1.8 L I-4 engine.

Also, the valve cover specs and sequence. Any help very much appreciated.

Here are the cylinder head torque specs and tightening sequence as you have requested, I also have included the instructions on how to remove and install the cylinder head in the images below. You must replace the head bolts because they are torque to yield. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
