Head Bolts ?
When you install new head bolts, I was told that you need a specific type angle meter or something like that? What is it or can you just use a tourque wrench? What are the tourque specs on the head bolts anyway?

Replace with ARP head bolts and you can do away with the torque + angle method. Plus, they're reusable and stay on torque. Make sure and get their thread lube/sealer to use with them. No worries.
