Angle-torqueing



A review of the head-gasket tightening procedures tells me to pre-
tighten the head bolts to 15 lbs, then to 45 lbs in the pattern 
specified, then to use a torque wrench with an inclineometer dial-
like doo-dad on it and rotate the wrench 115 degrees to achieve the 
proper tightness and gasket compression.

I understand the directions perfectly but I have never heard of this 
procedure before and I have never seen an angle-torque wrench. Is 
this an attachment you can put on your foot/lbs. torque wrench, or is 
it strictly a seperate item? I haven't seen it at Sears. Does 
everyone do it this way or has someone figured out how many foot lbs 
115 degrees equates to? I know how important it is to do this part 
correctly and I don't want to screw it up. Thanks.
