As many of you may recall, I spent the summer redoing the head and manifold gaskets on my revcon.
I learned a lot and i did a lot of other stuff while I was in there, transmission lines, electric fans, etc.
It would all be great except in the end it leaked.
Only on one side.
Today I pulled the manifold and the right head.
The head bolts offered very little resistance. Of all the stupid things I may have done during this job, I'm certain I torqued all the bolts.
Should I have torqued them again? I got lots of advice form guys on this board, and I thought someone said NOT to torque the bolts again.
So what's the deal? Should I have tightend them again after it sat for a while? After it started the first time? After a few miles?
Thanks
