Hello. I've been searching for the exact torque sequence on the n54 valve cover. The DIYs I've seen just say go in a criss-cross pattern starting the from the middle. I have the idea in my head but when I see a a sped up video that cuts off after 7 seconds, they don't follow the sequence I imagined.

Can someone help? The Bentley manual does not show a diagram. And the diagram commonly shown here belongs to the n55 engine valve cover.

I didn't make it. I snipped it from a YT video

Honestly is not that important imo. as long as you start middle outwards

My valve cover job finished with a slow, drop, oil leak on the turbo side at the level of coil pack 5 T_T

Oil can still leak out of the metal bracket (that holds the boost solenoids) after the job if you did not take time to clean it out. Someone was chasing a leak on the forums once only to find out that was it.
