You start in the midde and work your way out to the edge, then re- check and adjust it after you are done.

Valve train middle bolt or outside middle bolt? I am guessing valve train middle.

It's a three step process - 50 ft-lbs, 60 ft-lbs then 65 to 70 from the middle out unless the head gasket or machine shop that did the heads gives you a different maximum.
