Default Over-torqued TTY head bolts by about ten degrees

Just the one back by the firewall on the driver side, and it was on the final round. I'm assuming it's no big deal, but wanted to put a feeler out. I was using an angle gauge. Seeing as how most of the videos out there are mechanics just eye balling 90 degrees, I think I'm fine?

I've say you're just fine. If it still felt like it was holding then I'd leave it right where it is.

It is fine. In the future, paint a strip on the bolt head, and stripes on the socket/wrench. Sneak up on the final 90 a little at a time.

Paint on the socket so you can see where it is as you are tightening. - 4 stripes, 90 degrees apart.

do you still have to do the 90 degree process if using ARP head studs? or is that a stretch bolt thing?
