TORQUE TO YIELD-ft.lbs then degrees??
Is this as easy as it sounds? I am assuming torque a bolt as per the chart then go (x) number of degrees to finish the tightening the fastener?? Maybe a slight explanation is in order for me.

I beleive that method is based on bolt stretch. It is superior in theory but not so easy to execute.

Yes, based in the bolt stretch theory.
Try posting in a the C5 tech section, you will get more feedback. No C6s are out yet, so this the wrong section.

You typically do an initial torque value with a torque wrench. Then you torque to the degrees in the shop manual with a torque angle meter. The crank balancer bolt is a good example.

Or headbolts, or maincaps. It's a little bit of a PITA.
