RE: [DMCForum] Angle Torque... what the hell?

["Travis Goodwin" <tgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got it. I got it. Easy. Come down off the ledge. This is all thinking
out
loud and posting whatever notes I can find out about. That's the beauty of
DMCForum.

You answered my main question, which was if anyone has actually done this.
Did you replace the bolts before you did this? 

Standard American torque is foot/pounds.

I answered in the prior post that a little more than 1/4 turn will put the
right amount of angle torque on the head bolts (113 degrees).
