I repalced my oil pan and head gasket a couple a week or so ago. I have taken it on a couple of nice cruises since. Should I retorque the head despite the Felpro gasket says no retorque. If I do, should the engine be hot, warm, cold? Loosen bolts first, or just tighten to 70-75 and see if it is loose? |

I always retorque a head gasket after the first few heat cycles. Do the check with the engine warm, basically as it is cooling after being hot. Just go more on the tightening, I never loosen and retighten but know that others have done it that way. DD |
