Question: I just replaced the the head gasket on my 2000 528i. After tightening the head bolts following the torque specs and procedure the head bolts do not seem very tight. I made sure all the bolt holes were cleaned prior to installing the head gasket and head. I also installed new bolts and oiled the threads as per the instructions. Wondering why the bolts wont get tight?? Procedure says 40Nm the 90deg two times. BTW this is an aluminum block engine and I did make sure to get the correct bolts it.

The head bolt threads int he block may be faulty. This is common when an engine is overheated. If the bolts will not tighten, I would assume this is your problem.
