And it's worth re-torquing the head bolts after running that far....

Good point oxide

I don't have a torque wrench hear, a job to do when I get over to my parents again. Unless I buy one...could do with one really...might look into it!

rustyrhinos · Aug 16, 2010

Yup. You get what you pay for though I guess...I was thinking of just getting a cheapo one considering I do all the "big" work over at my parents...

After reading through the posts, I was about the ask if that had been done! Usually after 500 miles, the head will need retorquing!

rustyrhinos · Aug 17, 2010

Yeah, and I do know better...to be honest cannot remember if I have torqued it up again or not. Somehow I think not, but oh well!
