SleeperZ Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 On my new L28ET install, I used a Felpro head gasket torqued to 65 ft-lb (standard torque using stock bolts), and the gasket said re-torque isn't necessary. I will be running higher boost on this, as soon as I can dial it - I've run 10psi on it so far, with no issues. Should I re-torque it anyway? What is the procedure for re-torque? Do I loosen the bolts, or just re-torque at 65 ft-lbs? Any specific sequencing on re-torque? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 In the same torqueing sequence specified retorque the bolts as follows: 1) Unscrew the head bolt about 1/4-1/2 turn until it feels slightly free'd up. 2) Retorque the head bolt back to the 65ft-lbs. 3) Move to next head bolt in the torqueing sequence. You should find that the head bolt will have move past its original position. You can place a small mark on it before untorqueing/retorqueing. I always retorque and it shouldn't hurt anything.
