I had a post on this not too long ago, start from the center and work your way outward, first pass going 11 ft. lbs. 2nd pass doing 18 ft. lbs. After it was all said and done though i think i just ended up hand tightening them

i did the same thing...i torqued the first couple to 18 ftlbs, got a feel for how much to turn them, then did the rest without a torque wrench.
i'm probably a little light on a few because i was afraid to strip the holes...but i don't have any leaks and no bolts have backed out so it doesn't worry me
