head bolts

[turboclio24]

im just about to put the engine back together but ive noticed my head bolts are 2 different lengths, why is this?and what ones go where? i have the order they need to be tightened up in and the torque+angle settings but i dont know how the headbolts go in? long ones in the back?
its on a 1.4 8v
cheers guys

Pretty sure the bolts should be the same size but obviously they are prone to stretch throughout there life. If they are different sizes you should replace them with new ones

the longer ones come to the front side and shorter ones to the back
