Default Help!!!! B18a1 valve cover tightening order

Can someone tell me what the tightening order is on a b18a1 valve cover. I have searched all over and can't find anything. Any help will be great.

Thanks for the info. I have the book for the dc integra and it's shows from the inside out. But the b18b has 8 bolts and the b18a1 has 7. So I'm trying to find the right order. B18a1 pattern . .. . .

Sorry. I laid the pattern out on what I have but it didn't show up. Guess that's what I get for being on my phone. My motor has been rebuilt but the valve cover is leaking. It has a new gasket but is leaking like crazy. So I'm going to buy a new one and clean everything up and do it again. Just wanted to make sure I get the right order.

Make sure you put a small dab of rtv on the corners of the gasket where it arches over the cams
