After rebuilding my 3A motor with 89mm liners I started the motor and ran it
for about 30 minutes at 2500 RPM. This was not a drive as the car was not
assembled. I had some time on my hands so I pulled the valve assembly and
retorqued the head. I was surprised that 3 or 4 of the nuts took a few
pounds.
Given that experience I guess I would recommend that route and then after
the recommended driving interval. If I recall correctly, it was 105 ft lbs.
but I could go look it up.
