easy way to do it is get some tipex an mark the corner of a bolt an the head when u done em up 30 nms an then every side of the bolt is 60 degs so as long as u tighten bolt up to the next point on the bolt that will be 60 degs or otherwise spend 3.50 an buy a degree dial that attaches to your torque wrench

tack43:
Check what bolts you've got first. If there's 5 stars on the head of the bolt, do it the angle way. Remember to centre punch one of the stars on each bolt. They can be used 5 times but 3 is the usual recommendation. If not, centre and inner bolts 65-70 lbf ft (88-95 Nm), outer(officially) 40-45 lbf ft (54-61 Nm), unofficially 40 Nm as they can warp the heads (later v8's didn't have these outer bolts).

Hope this helps

I was going to say, yu don't angle-torque the V8 because it doesn't use stretch bolts.  "normal" bolts can be re-used, the outer row I tighten to 30nm, just better than hand-tight and use threadlock, just so that they fill the holes.  You can leave them off but I wouldn't advise it on an old head unless you have it skimmed.

You should be using Locktight thread lubricant/threadlock too BTW.

Yoshi:
Its ok, cos i dont think the head is coming off! lol

Its was supposed to be heli coiled today but me starter packed in yesterday!  Battery was also having some problems so bought a new battery and a new starter - only problem is the starter is a 1.7kw not a 1.4kw!!!

Range Rover Blues:
Not a probelm if it fits though is it? 1.7kw, you realise that's a couple of horsepower don't you?
