Hello,

I replace my head gasket a month ago, engine has about 4 hours running time since this was done. The service manual says to retorque after 20 hours, but how do you do this? The spec for this engine is 29 ft lbs then an additional 120 degrees. How do you retorque this, back the bolts off then redo the process?

Thanx for your assistance and have a great day.

Rob.

Rob, as far as I know there is no re-torquing to be done when you torque to angle.

What engine do you have?

Hello ElP,

Thanx for your reply, I have the AQ131. That is what I thought as well, won't worry about it.

Have a great day

Rob.
