Recently I successfully installed a decked head with new head bolts,tightening to volvo procedure, As a precaution I double checked torque with a flex. I took each bolt just up to the point where I felt that they were about to move then. I compared that reading to the corresponding bolt on the opposite side. I found one bolt that required turning an additional 45 degrees,though there were a couple of bolts that I did give a small nudge to during this check. I just don't trust the accuracy of the last torque being dependent on a 90 degree turn considering the potential for inconsistencies in tensile strength between head bolts.
