Thank's for the answers. Clarification, over the last 10 years I have done several hundreds of 4 cyl Saab head gaskets, never had any big problem with the bolts. Now some old jobs start to come back with 50-100 K and I decided to use new bolts to try with. I have tried appr 30 bolts and all of them feels "fishy" at first stage (60NM) and most of them give up and stretch before second stage (80NM). Could be a bad batch even though I have ordered over several month. Did have my wrench checked but no changes.
Saab say that nothing is changed and our latest shopmanual printed in 98 say the same torque as before, but this new developed bolt came on the market in 99 (I think). Thank's again
