Head Gasket
Hey all,
One last question before I'm off to the races. I had both my block and head machined, but reused the old headbolts (they were in great shape) and used a stock gasket (I've had poor luck in the past with metal types). I torqued the head to 60ft/lb (this was done before reading this forum and I found 58 listed in both the hayes and TRSM). I've started it up, it runs great but after reading about all these HG horror stories I'm wondering if I should re-torque. Should I retorque the head, to which value, and should it be warm or cold? Thanks for all the help, Colin Slade |
