Re: Does Board Suggest Re-torqueing Head w/o reason? Posted by MJM [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Does Board Suggest Re-torqueing Head w/o reason?, PeterH, Fri, 17 Sep 2004 09:22:07 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
As you said, by the time you are positive the head isn't tight anymore, the 'fix" may be a total rebuild. External oil leaks are the most minor symptom of a leaky head gasket. Oil in the water, water in the oil, or combustion gases leaking into either are all the serious symptoms. If you can change your own oil and do a brake job, you can handle re-torquing the head. OTOH, the peak cylinder pressures are much lower for the NA engine than for the turbo engine...
