I torqued and degreed a new set of head bolts to spec this evening, over a new head gasket, and for reasons I will not go into here (too embarrassing), I had to remove the head once again.
Should I spend another 200 bucks on another set of new head bolts and another head gasket, or will the bolts withstand that massive torquing (45ft pounds plus 130 degrees) one more time? Its a heck of risk to me, tinnking that a bolt will break. Advice (experienced) is desperately needed.
