head bolts what do they mean? by sequence and how many torque should I apply when tighting them?
 
Get a Haynes repair manual for it. It gives you torque's and detailed step by step instructions with pics. Much more helpful than a Chilton manual in my opinion. Sequence should not matter. You do not want to over tighten them. Breaking a bolt off in the engine is no fun to remove. Also, if all the bolts to not have the same ft/lbs of torque the gasket could leak. You are probably safe with 45-60 ft/lbs of torque though.

Good Luck!
