1984 2.3 4x2 carbureted overhead cam removal

Hey there guys I have a 1984 2.3 4x2 carbureted Ford Ranger SOHC and I am removing the overhead Cam because it keeps throwing 2 of my rocker arms I have already replaced the hydraulic lifters because a couple of them were locked up and I thought that was the issue does anybody have any information on the bolt removal patterns for the Cam covers I don't have my owner's manual and I can't find online anywhere that specifies the specific Order that the bolts should be removed and replaced in thanks

Removal can be done in any order
When re-installing the caps start at the inner 2(do both bolts on each cap) and then do the end caps
After first tightening rotate cam 180deg and retest torque on each bolt
