Tighting cylinder head

Seamus:
Just a quicky to see how folk do this

Read lots of bits, some just torque in increments and others torque to the value, release and retorque.

What is the consensus here?

Thanks

Seamus

Hi Seamus.
I have always followed the book start off with a T bar by hand, then by torque wrench, leave it for 5 Min's then with the torque wrench re check them.Never had any problems like oil leaks done it like this since the 70s.
Hope this helps you with your survey.
All the best
Bitsa

ST1100:
Any recommendations about the 'old ways' of checking the torque after 1000km/600miles?

Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
Hi ST1100.

I do not remember ever re torquing head bolts after a settling down time,as with the 750 its engine out again job.One would assume if all OK after 1000k why bother with removal etc.I do recall with the old cars it was done as technology was not so good then.Interesting to hear what others think.
Regards
Bitsa

I don't remember any of the Japanese having a re-torque procedure in the manuals
