The Triumph manual calls for 12-14 lbs torque for those bolts.
I have a header on my TR4 and usually tighten them run the engine
for a bit and then go back and loosen the nuts and retightent
i them while hot. There is no pattern that I know of that is
recommended for tightening, but I work out from the center.
Hope it helps...
