This is what im not getting......Going another round turn will shear the bolts

.......hense why you use a torque wrench and never a breaker bar!!

angle torque

you can either guess 180 degress which aint hard or buy an angle gauge that just fit's onto your sockect and ratchet/breaker bar like an extension bar
i never had a k series head bolt snap even used bolts

angle torque is used on 90% off todays cars
