WP/Timing Cover Torque Specs

Can anyone tell me the sequence and torque specs for the timing chain cover and water pump? I have the correct bolt patterns (I think), but I don't know the order/torque for them. Thanks!

No, sorry, don't have actual specs but I can say for the order try to go across the cover to the bolts that are furthest from each other, similar to on a wheel. For tq I would say tight but don't crank on it or you'll break the gasket.

Timing cover torque specs 9-11 lb ft
Water Pump torque specs 12-18 lb ft
There is no sequence that shows in the Ford shop Manual, I'd use the method described by 90mustangGT
