I was finally able to restart our GT6's engine this weekend after its lengthy rebuild. Most guides I am familiar with typically call for a head to be retorqued after an initial running period.
I did not retorque the head yesterday mainly because I was feeling very lazy after getting the car assembled and started. Being a Mk1 GT6, the only way I can retorque the head is to remove the manifolds again to access the head's shorter studs.
Is retorquing really necessary? If so, should it be done hot or cold? An inquiring and lazy mind wants to know.
Thanks,
