[EJ-25 head bolts torque]

is there another way to torque head bolts with out the use of degree adapter. I have a very good and certified torque wrench. Plus the confusing way of doing a head gasket. There has to better way. My 5.9 Cummins diesel uses degree adapter and everybody uses 125 foot pounds in 3 steps instead. I think some of the problem is head bolts coming loose after allot of heating and cooling cycles with the engine. steel expands/contracts at a different rate than alum!

how do you check the torque of the bolts on the engine? Are there Ti bolts out there for the engine?

[99 Subaru Outback Limited, which cylinder is which?]

Thanks for the post it I think it solved a problem after failing emissions test here in Seattle. I will get a OEM sparkplug wires from Subaru; mine are red colored. How do I change out number 4 plug and wire since it is sitting right next to the body?? Unbolt a motor mount and jack up the motor? How are Bosch plugs in a 2.5 legacyOBW?

Thanks
