I have a quick question about the head bolts..
So, the other day, (about 5 days ago) I put on the drivers side head and tightened in the correct order to 15lb for the first round and then 90 degrees thereafter. I thought that was it.
Now the instructions that came with the gasket are in German and broken English, but what I gathered is I’m supposed to go another 90 degrees, right?
Question #1: is that right? Should I have gone a total of 180 degrees (two steps of 90)?
Question #2: If so, can I tighten the bolts I have in there now another 90 degrees? I mean I had to put everything I had into getting them from 15foot/lbs to 90 degrease. They were new bolts but I am afraid they would break.
Please….any help on this one would be grateful!
