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

["Elvis Nocita" <elvisnocita@xxxxxx>]

I still don't get your problem. I've done this stuff on other cars before.
Just do it. What's your problem ? Don't you know that a full turn has 360
degrees ?

Maybe angle torque is a wrong name as torque is always specified in Nm
(Newton Meter or for the non metric users - something with feet and weight
!). Accept the name as it describes it pretty good.

or wanna calculate something ?
what's the angle ? 117° ?  117/360*(flank lead ) = length that your bolts
will
be stretched. too complicated ? exactly ! therefore they tell you the
angle
as you can draw it on a sheet of paper, lay it over the bolt and turn the
nut .....





I should clarify my last question... Has anyone applied the angle torque
to
their head bolts?

Rich, how about you?
