This method is necessary in modern engines because it eliminates all "waste of torque" due to friction inside of the thread or of the bolt's base and the head casting.

Juni 2005 09:45 An: series1@xxxxxxxxx.xxx Betreff: SER1 Long weekend fun! Tis a long weekend here in Oz and of course our Series 1 (Disco) decided to die in the engine department. Head gasket at No4 let go into the coolant circuit so had a lovely compressor spraying coolant over everything via the cap. There was something odd I noticed when I was undoing the cylinder head bolts.... some were not very tight and others were!.....100K ago we bought the car with a blown head gasket, I pulled it down and had the head done up plus the turbo kitted, new injectors etc etc....has been fine since till now.....when I installed the head I carefully followed the instructions of torquing the head down then dial tensioning to the correct figures....it was tight as I recall splitting the side out of a Rothenburger socket!.... I can't work out why some bolts weren't that tight?....they of course may have stretched.... any clues as to what happens here?
