I am stripping my 91k engine for selling individual parts as it is easier to courier. Could someone please tell me the correct sequence of undoing the head bolts so I don't damage the head in any way. Cheers, Pete.

Not true at all - effectively outer extremes, rotating inwards; specifics depend on which engine it is.
