727 transmission pan bolts

I start 4 corners then fill in the sides. Finger tight to start, criss cross to torque and one more time around just to make sure I didn't forget one. I know there is a torque spec but I just use a 1/4" ratchet and make sure the gasket isn't being squeezed out. Start with a flat pan by tapping the bolt holes on the edge of a vice or a block of wood.
