Imt 539 m33/t head torque sequence.

Hello,
I have aquired a 539 deluxe. The engine was siezed up so I pulled the head. Lots of rust on the front cylinder but cleaned up with some pitting. I purchased a head gasket but I haven't been able to find head bolt torque sequence or valve clearance and valve train bolt torque information anywhere online. Before I spent another $50 or so on a manual, not knowing how well it will run, I thought I would see if anyone on here with a manual would be kind enough to provide the information.
 
Service manual is $35. Generic sequence for a head is to start in the middle, work your way out, and cross over after each bolt. Reach max torque in 3 trips across the head.
 
Thanks for the quick reply. I wasn't as concerned about the sequence as much as the torque specs themselves. I was thinking 80-90 would be close but i didnt want to blow the gasket or stretch or shear the stud/bolt. And knowing its "right" will put my mind at ease if turns out to be more than scrape value. The gasket cost $15 for shipping so I figured the manual would be close.
I'll probly wait till the weekends over to see if anyone responds then get a manual ups-ed out. Ill probly need it anyway if it runs.
Thx again for the insight.
