You know, I've done 4-5 head gaskets, on B18s, B20s, B230, and a whiteblock B5234T3. With the exception of the 18/20, I've never gotten that groaning stretching noise from any of my TTY bolts. Although both my click-wrench and my flex-bar wrench give me the same torque readings, I'm never fully confident that things are at the right level of torque.

The B5234 has been great, and the B230 was fine until I swapped heads. But I can't shake the feeling that the tools are lying to me...
