Default Head bolts, 2nd stage

1.8T ~ what's the correct 2nd-stage tightening angle, 135 or 180??

I'm using new bolts (DMGRS "Comprehensive Kit"), uprated oil rail, Payen elastomeric gasket.

The higher tensile bolts 10.9 are 135deg. Does the bolt head have anything stamped on it?

No, nothing marked on the bolts.

180 it is then, subject to having enough mozzy spray to keep the midges off for the next hour...

Nope.

Victor Reinz supplies standard elastomer gasket and High tensile bolts 10.9 for some years now.

Yes Gary they do but Mat supplies standard head bolts with that kit and a Payen gasket I believe he did with mine and the bolts are made by BGA

It would make a certain sense if all HG kits included the tightening regime for the bolts that are supplied with it. But maybe that's asking too much.
