25Nm +90 deg +90 deg +90 deg + 15deg.....  (the 15deg is optional....)

Bring it down in stages (i.e. all to 25Nm then all plus 1 90 deg etc) working from inner bolts to outer.....

use lots of grease on the top and bottom side of the head bolt washer......and a very light oil on the threads.....not much though, you dont want them to hydraulic....

As a tip.....put a piece of kitchen roll in each bolt hole before starting each stage of tightening.......remove it as you tighten the bolt....that way you wont miss one.......then place them all back in again before the next stage....
