Hello, Is there any way to check if the head bolts have been tightened properly on a new head with new bolts - I have a feeling my torque wrench might be buggered. Followed 39NM (29lb ft) torque then 90 degrees twice. The first torquing didn't feel tight. Not started engine yet.

I had a similar thing when I did mine.
I was tightening the bolts and my mate was counting them off.
After we finished he said "did we do that one?"
Anyway after he went home I went round with my wrench set about 20nm under what I thought were the correctly tightend bolts and I just went round them all once then upped the setting 5nm and went round again and kept going until I got up to the "tight bolts " setting.
I found all were ok to within about 5nm.
So far so good after about 2000 miles.......
