05 Saturn Relay getting head gasket replaced

Hi everyone. I was really hoping you guys could help me out. I have an 05 Saturn Relay 3.5l V6 engine. 2wd. My friend who is a mechanic is going to do the job for me but he cannot find his repair manual and so he cannot remember the exact order the bolts go in or the maximum torque allowed when putting them back in. If anyone knows this info I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much.

Ignore everything I said. I just found the actual information. I will post it shortly

Per Wikipedia, your engine is the LX9 3.5L V6.

Cylinder head bolt specs are in the attached PDF along with every other LX9 torque spec you will ever need.

I will now look for the order of tightening as it is not included in the attached document

For the torque directions, follow the PDF. It is a GM document
