Subject:Head Retorquing On New Engine
From:Blake Heinlein
Date:Thu, 26 Jan 2006 08:06:43 -0800

To all those who a competent with engine rebuilds.

Is it common that heads have to be re-torqued after a rebuilt engine has
been run in? Say after 1000 miles or so?  Or should heads be completely
tight from the moment the engine is assembled and throughout the rest of
it's life?
