Did you drop the
oil pan and retorque the rods? What about the flywheel bolts? I submit that a properly installed valve train in our engines should never, ever require a retorque. And it would be awfully nice if one of the recognized engine builders replied here with
"yes, the only time a valve train should require retorquing is if it was never torqued properly in the first place." And I bet that's the case.
