Id always replace headbolts.

ZVH 45ftlb, 45deg, 45deg. IMO only, use at your own risk

 

45deg, 45deg. IMO only

?? im lost

 

you torque all the bolts in sequence to 45ftlb then tighten them another 45 degrees (full sequence) then another 45 degrees (full sequence) if you know what i mean

 

ahhh i see says the mind man!!

thanx

 

blind man dont u mean creedy

 

I normally go with the settings of:

40lb/ft stg 1
60lb/ft stg 2
75lb/ft stg 3

but please bear in mind that this is with a 150mm long 12.9 rated m10 cap head bolt. i prefer to use these as they are re-usable as they are not stretch bolts but cost about the same as a stretch bolts
they normally cost about 12 quid a set up here in the north-east 1.50 a bolt
