Vortec Head Bolt Torque? RANT!

New to Vortecs and have one in the driveway I'm building for a buddy. Ready to install heads, but the friggin' torque horses**t is driving me nuts!

Why can't Chevy just give a torque reading or step-torque instead of "tighten short bolts an addition 55 degrees", "tighten medium length bolts an addition 65 degrees", "tighten long bolts an addition 75 degrees"?????


So WTF are you supposed to do, weld a degree wheel to your wrench?

I guess I'm just going to use the old SBC spec for torquing and have him sell the damn thing as soon as it's broken in!
