as for the first question, you're better off getting yourself a manual.

Three step torque sequence:
39 Nm (29 lb*ft)
69 Nm (51 lb*ft)
98.1 Nm (72.3 lb*ft)

Looking down on top of engine from the front, the torque sequence is as follows:
9-5-1-3-7
8-4-2-6-10

Bolts should be cleaned and oiled - chase block holes with a bottom tap.
Use a new head gasket & make sure the dowel pins are aligned.

Honda MTF is great, and so is Redline MTL. I've called Redline and they do recommend it for the '98 SH.
