Are they torque to yield?
Yeah man shire did, even got them in and torqued to 43 foot pounds for the short ones, and 46 foot pounds for the longs bolts. But the problem im having is i remember that the book said to torque an addissional 90 deg's but i cant find my book, now is the book telling me to turn the bolts another 3/4's of a turn? because i went another 1/4 turn with the bolts, but was troubled going any more because it felt like the hed was going to crack, or the bolt was going to break. Could some one clue me in on this addissional 90 deg's part.
Its called a torque angle method. Most manufacturers use an additional # of degrees after pretorque to ensure equal clamping for all bolts. They call it the yield method. This means that the bolts are stretched just beyond thier max and ensures closer torque pressures to spec. Because theyre stretched too much, they need replaced every time the head is serviced. Ill check for sure for you as soon as i get outta here. If your nervous about it, many places sell torque angle guages like
This to help you.
90 degrees is one quarter turn. 360 degrees is a full rotation. Do NOT turn them 3/4 turn, that may get messy.
Also, i hope you followed any torque sequence they might have given, and torqued in 2-3 steps. If your in doubt, id play it safe and get another set of bolts.
Long bolts = 46 lbs ft + 90 degrees
Short bolts = 43 lbs ft + 90 degrees

Thanx man for the great info, and thats all the addissional deg's of turning that i did which was 1/4 turn more so i should be good, and i did follow the torque sequence procedure.
