[Vwdiesel] engine rebuild didnt index head bolts

[mark shepherd]

Any bolt any spot, but these are officially single use.
However have them all in a row and check their lengths. If they are all the 
same and within say 0.5mm of spec then I would reuse.
When doing angular torques, do approx 45 degrees rather than 90 degrees. I 
find this generally sufficient to enter into the plastic range.
Levelling of torque gauge reading is what I prefer, and  for  a second user 
bolt is around 90 to 95lbft compared with 105ish originally...
