removing stock heads

[Dreamcar]

I was just watching a car show on tv and they removed a cylinder head by loosening the bolts in the opposite of the torque patern.

I'll need to start dismantling my 383 someday, so should I do the same?

Its not a bad idea I do not follow any particular pattern I just zig zag back and forth. Probably more important for proper gasket seating on the install But that's the way I learned and I am a creature of habit. It does not take any longer either way
