I have just torqued my head completely back up and placed my tappet cover on top to find that I have put the 5 stud bolts in the wrong places. I figured the longer bolts would go towards the inlet side and the shorter ones towards the outlet. I was wrong. My question is can I take one bolt from each bridge without warpping anything? Or do all the bridge bolts have to come out in spiral sequence again? Also if anyone knows which holes the shorter bolts go in it would save me a little bit of time to know. Thanks heaps guys

You will need to remove the bolts again in the correct sequence, definatley, on no account remove just the five.

Just edited this post, from memory the bolts that hold the cam cover on are all the same size, when I did my retainers I didn't notice that they were different in length

I thought so. There is about half inch difference in the studs. I tried screwing the little rubber bits on top of the cover, 2 of the bolts barely reached the thread in the studs, the others wouldn't sit flush on the cover.
Just when I thought I was all done...

Got me thinking now, will check mine tonight.

You can pull just the ones that need swapping. I bolt per cam tower max. No need to loosen all.
