Ron s3 - The torque settings are a convoluted, involved, 6 stage process, according to the thread on this following
forum (link below).
One
forum member indicates the bolts are also a one-shot fastener - i.e., not re-useable, and new bolts need to be fitted, after the originals have been used once.
This is not an unusual arrangement - I recall that Mack require new big end bolts to be installed when doing an engine overhaul, because of the possibility of the elastic deformation of the high tensile fasteners being exceeded in use.
A high tensile fastener relies on some degree of stretch to keep tension on the item being retained. This is called "elastic deformation".
Once the fasteners elastic deformation limit is exceeded, by extended use, then the fastener must be replaced.
