[TR] How soon to retorque after installing a new head

[Steve Kirby]

Sujit,

Retorque now.  105 ft lbs.  Yes you have to take off the rocker assembly off and then reset the valve clearances.

If all nuts are still at 105 (unlikely), you are done.  If you have to retorque some nuts, then check again at 500 miles.

I'm testing my car and have only driven 20 miles. I plan to carry on testing. I have driven it at speed. When should I re torque the heads?  Can I hold of retorquing while testing? When is a good time to re torque?
