   Hi All. Is there an alternative second stage torque for vts head bolts other than 260 degrees?

   Break it down into two stages of 130 degrees at a time. I had the same issue.

   Yeah that's I thought you might say, but on angle tightening bolt 5, my hand touched the degree gauge, and moved it slightly. I set it back roughly and carried on. Hopefully itll be ok.

   loosen off bolt -reset to to 20nm ,then do the angle again
   you could do 3 X 90 degrees --bolts will take it no problem
