K series 1800

Hi I am new to this blog but must say it has been great reading your story over the passed few years on your K series 1800. I have been told by a reputable and friendly Rover engine re builder to use the Victor Reinz HG No. 6134835-20, the head saver is fixed to the multi. head gasket and all is covered with a black adhesive. I was also advised to use the Payne head bolts and on reading the instructions they say to torque the head we must use the following procedure. First 20NM then four times 90 degree turns not the normal 20NM then 2 times 180 degrees. Engineering logic this sounds like a more even pull down. After watching a promotion video on the net and seeing how they torque this head, each bolt is tightened on a torque jig all at the same time first to 20NM then one turn to 360 degrees so no crisscross sequence. Please your valued and other comments would be most appreciated.
