Default Cometic head gasket torque setting?????????

just about to fit a 057 cometic multi layer head gasket to my yb but dont know what to torque it up to?
would it still be the same setting as a standard gasket or should it be more or less?

cheers in advance!

Cossie headbolts are not torqued up. They are tightened to and angle.

just to confirm:
In this case, its the bolts that require the setting, not the gasket, so go by the book.

ask yourself would you want to use one again
if fitted properly and not running all the power on earth then it shouldnt need replacing for a long time anyway
so my answer would be no
