Default Ls1 head bolts

I am putting my heads back on my ls1 engine; my question is this, I have TTY bolts but all I have is a click torque wrench, can I guess at the turn angles or do I have to go and buy an angle gauge? thanks

you need both a torque wrench and a angle torque gauge, the gauge is easy to use and only cost about 10 bucks just fallow the torque specs!! in Sequence m11 first pass 22 lb ft second 90 degree and third 90 degree

Just use the TQ wrench to get the first pass on the heads. Take a Sharpie and draw a vertical line on the head bolts. Use a wrench to turn it horizontal. That is your first pass of 90*. Make another pass turning the line back vertical. That's your second pass of 90* and you should be good to go!
