I'm trying to figure out if there is such a thing as metric torques head drivers? I used a T50 and that is to small so I got a T55 and it is to big. It's for the head bolts. Thanks.

 

That's because they're not Torx (which are metric to start with - a T50 is 5.0mm) They are Polydrive bolts, and are "torque to yield" type - one time use and must be replaced with new ones. see:
GermanAutoParts.com
for a 2.8l (if your's isnt, you'll need to find the proper ones for your engine)

Thanks Jim.

Head bolts take a special tool. A Torx will not work and you'll strip the head bolts if you try. Here is the link to the tool.

Thanks Bob!

 

Make sure you follow the tightening sequence in your Bentley manual. There is a specific order and torque and then you get to stretch the bolts in sequence and, oh boy, is that fun.

 

Thanks Bob. I'm taking some new heads off a bad motor and hopefully selling them, so I won't be putting them back on if I can help it.
