39 Baby Mack Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Should be cool as stated above, back off until lose then re-torque each bolt in proper sequence.Always was nice to have someone help. He could back off the bolt till lose and you oil under bolt head and washer and torque to 220 lbs. then move onto thenext one.Don't forget to reset valve clearances.Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
