Thanks guys.
I have the hazet socket from when I worked for VW in ontario.
I think I used it for the first head and then the Mac socket (which is new) on the passenger head.
I was useing a large round drift to shock them Greg and found that some of the inner bolts that had teflon paste on them had to be worked back n forth.
I don't know why they had the white paste on them?

I have not had trouble reusing head bolts yet on BMW engines.... just torque them to spec .

The early 32Vs have studs but the torque procedure ispretty much the same as the S4. I can't beleive the studs would need changing every time the head is off. I had mine off twice and kept the original studs. With the amount of force it takes to get the last 90, they didn't feel like they were at the yield point.

You do need new head bolts but Why do you want to change all the cam cap bolts ?

I did not realize the cost of the bolts and thought that it would be a good idea to have extras by thowing the old ones in a can ha ha
