ad bolt torque-with\without torq ang guage
just putting the heads back on the bike, manual says 120-144 inch pounds then go to 15-17 ft-lbs then mark bolt draw line 90 degress on the head and tighten bolt till u hit the 90 degree mark u made, what im curious about is without the torque angle gauge. ya the pencil marks on bolt and head tell me when I hit 90 degree rotation , what I would like to know is when hitting the 90 degree point what is the actual torque up to when u hit 90.
fuel moto video doesn't use the 90 degree method goes from 17ft-lbs to 35 then final 42 ft-lbs
another training video from place like whyotech has a real fancy torque wrench beeps at torque values and also beeps at 90 degrees, as a test they marked head with 90 degree pencil marks did 17ft-lbs then set wrench to 90 degrees wrench beeps at 90 pencil marks dead on but the torque reading that the wrench also gives out while doing the 90 degrees was only 33 ft-lbs.
so whats the better number 42 or 33
for now ive stopped at 17ft-lbs I only have a pretty primitive torque wrench with the long pointy finger not the fancy click type , pretty sure when I did it before I was around 38-40 when I hit 90 degrees with my antique wrench

Final torque on cylinder head bolts has been 42 ft/lbs here, for well over 25 years.
