R56 Retorque head
Retorque head
Well ****. Ive had this car apart awhile. Missed the heavy washers for head bolts during reassembly.
I torqued new studs per instructions. Can i follow same instructions after disassembly and adding washers?

I believe those head bolts are TTY or "stretch" bolts. If so, I would not use them again. Also, I would not use the head gasket again. Not worth it, IMHO. Oh, and do make sure those bolts did not damage the aluminum head surface where those thick washers reside. Bummer, for sure. Sorry you had this misfortune.
