Normally they are done from the middle working their way out in a zig zag pattern. Most use a lighter torque then a finishing torque and all of this is to minimize the possibility of warping the head by too much pressure on one side.

This could be caused by the use of the wrong-size filter, by not tightening the filter enough, or by having debris which break the seal between the oil line and the filter. Can also be you did not apply oil to the filter gasket. Can also be over-tightened the filter. Should be tightened 3/4 turn after making contact with the mounting surface.
How do you change a valve gasket on an Acura Vigor?
If by valve gasket, you mean the valve cover gasket, then its rather simple. I have a site that shows how its done. Just remove the top nuts and replace. The nuts should be tightened evenly across the valve cover.

Engine oil blowing past filter gasket?
Then someone did not install the filter correctly or the gasket was defective. The gasket must have a thin coat of oil applied before installing or it can leak. The filter should be tightened no more or less than 3/4 turn after it makes contact with the mounting surface, or it may leak. Too tight or too loose and it may leak. The mounting surface may have grit on it or may be damaged. Look see.
What is the torque specs sequence for a 1997 Chevy Cavalier 4 cylinder 2.2 engine?
The long bolts should be torqued to 46 lb ft plus an additional 90 degrees, and the short bolts should be torqued to 43 lb ft plus an additional 90 degrees. They should also be tightened in sequence starting with the rear center bolt first, and then the front center bolt. The correct sequence, starting with the left rear bolt and moving clockwise would be: 8-4-1-5-9-10-6-2-3-7.
