I have trouble getting them to that second 90 degree turn ..
they get scary tight feeling, like something is just going to have to break.

I have a blown 1,9 block..and one of these days I'll put and old  head
on it ..and just cream down a head bolt or two and see if they really
will go to the torque spec plus two 90 degree turns.    They feel like
they are just going to break off.
  I get into the 2nd 1/4 turn ..but not  all the way through it.
   I never have head gasket problems.
