Thanks for sharing this accurate settings. As you can see, me and my uncle is been searching all over the net for this kind of setting for the bolts and torque of corsa because my uncle just recently experienced a blown head gasket so that's why he would be replacing it with a new gasket and a cylinder head bolt set to it. This would be really handy for me and my uncle. Thanks for this info.
