Beam type wrenches work well for head bolts but when trying to torque a bolt in a tight place you can't get a view of the reading. To view the scale properly you need to view the scale from straight above it, not on an angle.

Thanks ILENGINE that is just the info I needed.

There are many videos and postings showing how to replace the head gasket on Intek engines. All of the ones I have watched show the head bolts assembled and torqued dry (no lube). Is this correct or should the bolts be lubricated?

How has the copper head gasket held up?
