Thread-topic: | Post motor rebuild re-torque |
>What is the correct re-torquing method - back off the nut and re-tighten >to spec or just tighten to spec? Just to add to what others have said, I've finally found that the Head nuts that are outside the valve cover are dry as a bone, while those inside are nicely oiled. Backing off the "outside" nuts, then retorquing always finished with a screeching sound (I think Randal had a name for it). This last time, I oiled the studs outside so that they would be equally oiled as the studs inside and so they would torque evenly. Probably unnecessary, but I seemed to feel like I got a more accurate torquing of the normally "dry" outside studs.
