Title: Over stretching TTY head bolts
Post by: pgrandst on May 18, 2013, 08:18:33 AM
When torquing down my head last night using lightly oiled OEM head bolts and washers, bolt #9 seemed to get very easy to turn on the last 90 degree step. I'm worried that I got a bad bolt and that it over-stretched. Has this happened to anyone? What are my options short of buying new bolts and redoing it?
