    Audi head bolts are of the stretch type, and can only be used once.
    They do not need retorqueing as the procedure for the ABY and 3B is
    40 Nm
    60 Nm
    180 degrees
    The angle tightening is there to give a more accurate figure, as a torque setting might click out if one of the bolts is a little bit tight in the hole, when building an engine i cut 2 slots in the end of an old head bolt and run it down the bolt hole to make sure the threads are clean.
