1 - You have aftermarket head bolts there, you should have washers on them, so you will need to get some new bolts and washers for when you refit the head.2 - The torques are officially 35nm, 70nm, 180 degrees... There is no slackening involved. However, I usually only do them around 160 degrees on the final part.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

T55 torx headed bolts are standard pug on earlier engines, there will be washers still in the head not captive on the bolts, later types are a Socket type with captive washers.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I didn't realise the earlier Pugs had these as standard... ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

That's why I assumed this was the standard fitment.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Yeah, its strange. I always prefer the socket type as I think there is less chance of rounding them off if they are really tight. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

I've never had a head round off with the Torx ones, just to my mind its something else that could happen that needn't have.________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
