Bmoto1 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 My B is in the shop and getting new valve cover gaskets. While the valve covers are off is there easy access to retorque the heads? They were retorqued about 12K ago- worth doing? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2350-head-torque-on-end673/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were retorqued about 12K ago- worth doing?If the heads bolts had been retorqued at 12K after gasket replacement, I don't think there is any benefit to retorque again. The compression of the gaskets has already taken place, and the stretch of the studs has already settled in. I'm not saying it would be a waste to perform the operation again, and by all means since the rocker covers are already off, adjust the valve lash and retorque if you would be more comfortable.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
