for all the OTHER bolts beside the ones around the crankshaft? No mention in any of my manuals. What would you engine gurus say is the proper sequence in lieu of any "official" method? Start towards the middle and work outwards trying to hit opposites? Do we have a general concensus?
I have never seen one as well. Good point.
As a matter of elegance, I would start, looking at the bottom of the engine; with the front row of 6mm bolts; center -left, rt,left, rt . Then right behind the mains and work down the center and lft/rt to the back. Then flip it over and finish up.
Truthfully I doubt it matters. But I'd been schooled to start in the center and work to the edges, as you mentioned, like rolling dough.
