Cylinder head re torqueing proceedure

lil_fenner08 · Nov 11, 2016

So I have couple 1000 miles on my new engine and it’s getting tore apart down again and I didn’t know if anyone recommends re torqueing down head studs to ensure good clamping? I am not planning on taking the heads off but I know all those silly spark plug guys are re torqueing there stuff all the time. Is there a manufacture recommendation or what is everyone’s protocol?
Thanks

Well if you're not lifting the heads just check the studs with the final torque spec used during initial install.

Thanks I just thought it would be a good idea, didn't know how prone these studs are to stretching a little over time
