Hello

It says to re-torque after the engine has been brought up to operating temp and then cooled to touch. Can this be done with the engine on muffs/hose?

If so how long should I let it heat up for and what temps should I be looking for with my IR Temp gun? Basically whats the best procedure to do this %100?

This is for the cylinderhead and the gasket says "Do not use sealer" because it has a pre-installed sealer installed on the gasket.


Thanks,
DamianJP

Re: Re-Torque procedure

After installing the cylinder heads, you retorque the cylinder head bolts after 10 hours of running. Retorque only when the engine is cold.
