In regards to the TR 4A type motor...
I've heard different ideas over the years... but... when you re-torque
the head...
should you loosen each nut a little, before re-torquing? or what?
As much as I've been involved with Triumphs... Since I always did my own
work... (since 1977) ... this is just one of those questions that I
never really got a good answer on and somehow, has slipped through the
cracks...
>From experience, I do know, that simply hitting each nut with the the
torque wrench doesn't necessarily do anything... as the nut can get a
little frozen in place... hence... it could be many pounds below your
torque wrench setting, and, yet, it will simply click on first
attempt...
So I'm interested to hear a consensus of opinion on this issue.
