I have a 406 from Bill at S.A. I have about 250 miles on the engine and it's running beautifully (aka - like a gorilla!), and I am very pleased with it. I've been under and over the car snugging everything up - exhaust manifold,
oil pan, etc. Here's my question -
Have any of you re-torque your head bolts and, if so, was it necessary? I have heads aluminum, and I know with the expansion/contraction re-tightening is required (particularly with the exhaust manifold bolts 'cause they loosened up). But the head bolts?
I'm re-e-eally not interested in lifting the rocker arm assembly to do this if it's not necessary, nor am I looking forward to having to figure out how to get to #8 bolt (bottom rear) with the space (none!) allowed with the foot box
Thanks in advance for your input.
