Would like to know your views on these head bolts. What effects if any will they have on the block with having different torque settings?

Alright thanks mate. So in a nut shell it dont really matter if you use stretch or non-stretch bolts, both gona do the job. But will you get any movement using stretch bolts when under high pressure?

As I understand it stretch bolts allow for the different thermal characteristics of the iron block and alloy head as they expand and contract at different rates. You should use a stretch bolt on a CVH ideally.

I agree,
For a low power cvh the factory stretch bolts do a fantastic job.
There is no need to retorque them as well. (That is why the factory used them
in the first place.)
