    Torque settings

    Hi guys done a search on here found some info on cylinder head bolt torque's.
    I have a Uprated blue headgasket & bolts from CGB.

    Should I follow the long route of running for 20mins etc or tighten to 80nm and leave like I have read.

    Cheers Guys,
    Mike

    make sure the engine is off at least 5 hours(stone cold) or u might overstretch the bolts!!
