Default need some help please

I am going to replace my valve springs this coming weekend. I cannot find any posts on how to do it. I plan on using the air pressure in the sparkplug hole method. Really need to know the torque sequence. can anyone advise on a good site or post that I can use to aid in my project?

I did mine earlier in the year, simple! Just google torque specs for LS6 and you should be able to find those numbers easy enough. I used air also, works great. Sometimes the locks don't want to just fall free from the valve, very lightly pop the top off the retainer and they should fall free after compressed. Also a good idea to use a magnet to pick the locks out so you don't drop them out of sight.
