As a general rule of thumb for ALL engine assembly you loosen from the ends toward the center of the crank alternating sides and tighten from the center outwards alternating sides. Think of it like spreading out a table cloth. You start at the center and spread outwards to smooth it flat.

There are torquing sequences for the block and head in the FSM, but they follow the same rule of thumb above.
