Ah - I see
Is it recommended to use blue loctite on the threads?

I'm having the same problem finding the bolt torque sequence on my TVT691 twin 20 hp crankcase oil sump. Youtube helps a lot but can't find anything. no manual. Maybe you can go to youtube to get your answer

You will find the engine repair manual on the K & C Mowers web site .
Remember who was good enough to provide this information when you need parts .
Where there is no sequence shown in a manual, then the actual sequence is not considered important .
SO you start at a convienent spot then tighten criss cross
The standard method is to pick the centre and do them up finger tight then do the corners ( imagine it as a square ) .
Always do them up in 3 steps and you will have no problems with warping or squeezing the gasket out
