Re-torque head to what - while valve cover is off
Hey guys,
Just wondering what to re-torque the head bolts to while I am painting my valve cover?
I am running the Greddy turbo.
Thanks
Jason

Are you talking about the head studs that connects the head to the block? Or the valve cover. The valve cover i just get them nice and snug. Make sure you reapply RTV sealant or else you will get leaks.

The fact that you are asking this question means that I need to ask you a question in response- did you loosen them?
If yes, then you should most likely change the headgasket. If no, then don't bother ******* with them. And yes, torque specs are about the easiest things to find. It amazes me that people will sink thousands of dollars into a car, then hundreds or thousands more into aftermarket parts, and won't spend even $20 on a freakin' Haynes manual. All of a sudden even the $100 factory manuals seem like a decent buy, in the grand scheme of things, huh?
