Bill -
 
I've always done them individually (loosen ¼ then tighten) in the prescribed sequence -- but I cannot swear that is best.
 
Also (before doing anything else) I used a paint pen to mark the position of each of the nuts (like a dot on the nut and the stud) so after re-torqueing I could see how much additional movement I got on each one.

Question as to proper method of re-torqueing the head bolts on a TR4A motor.  I know to always move backwards(loosen) 1/4-1/2 turn before proceeding on to the proper torque setting but should you back-off all the bolts then go back and tighten as per the given pattern or loosen/tighten them one at a time?
 
Thanks,
