Helpful Andrew (above) has provided details of one sort of 2.5 Land Rover engine. You didn't state which model you had.
There is a 2.5 fitted to the Freelander that is a vee-6 and the figures above do not apply.
For this engine the data page says there is no requirement to fit new bolts. I would say it is optional but the originals should be checked and any stretched or pitted/corroded bolts should be replaced. Thoroughly clean all threads and oil or grease the bolts.
Starting in the centre of a cylinder head and working outwards in a spiral pattern tighten the bolts in four stages (Nm) 25+25+25 and then by a further 180 degrees.

When you are working on major parts to any auto, you must use a torque wrench for tightening. You can buy this @ your local auto parts store, they are not generally that expensive.
While you are there you can have them look up the torque pounds per square inch that you will need for the specs of your car. They all vary. The torque wrench has the measurements on the side of the wrench, you will see.
I suggest you use a thin magic marker to mark the torque on the wrench where you need it, at the store, and write the number down. Each bolt on various items on your car have different specs. Hand tightening a bolt on an engine is not recommended, it can loosen and break, and I am sure that you do not want even a small part of this bolt reaching your valves.
Do not put added pressure on the wrench while using it. It can bend or break. Be patient.
Thank you for contacting Fixya.
Does this help? Let us know.
My advice would be to replace them. This is also stated by the manufacturer. Look how long they are, and keep in mind what would happen if one broke. It may not break when being installed, but down the road? I stated this to also help ease the 'sting', when you go to buy these bolts! Kind of an 'Ouch'!
Hi have you any idea what is a torque wrench and do you have any experiment in car engine repairing? this not easy and cheap to whom have no tools ,let me know more.
According to my haynes manual for G-S reg, 1989-1998 it goes as follows,
Stage 1:- Tighten all bolts by hand until bolt heads just contact cyl. head.
Stage 2:-Tighten all bolts to 40Nm or 30lb ft.
Stage 3:-Angle tighten all bolts a further 60 degrees.
Stage 4:-Angle tighten all bolts again a further 60 degrees.
Stage 5:- M12 x 140mm bolts ONLY angle tighten a further 20 degrees.
Hope this helps everyone, sorry it seems longwinded but that is how it's written in the manual.
Stage 1 - 18 ftlbs
