RE: Angle-torqueing

["miltdanfoss" <dan.foss@xxxx>]

Rich,
If you read earlier in the workshop manual (in the torque value 
area), you will see the proper head bolt torquing sequence is 
pretorque to 15, bring it up to 45, break and retorque to 15 and then 
angle tighten to 115 degrees. 

You can try a few of you local autoparts stores or a real tool store 
to find the angle torque wrench. I simply made one out of a disk of 
paper and used a compass and protractor to mark off 115 degrees. I 
attached it with tape to the socket and used my regular torque 
wrench. Also, the Volvo 760 GLE (foir a 1984) shows another way to 
do make your own, but it doesn't work if you retorque after the run 
in period (after a half hour of running engine). Don't forget to 
drain down the antifreeze if you do this, otherwise it is very messy!
