I am in the process of freshening and detailing my 2.0 engine. While I have the engine sheet metal off, is it a good idea to retorque the heads? Are there any pros or cons to doing this?

I took a 72 bug away from my son in 1986 because he kept drinking too much. He asked for it back last june. He's now 40. It has about 50 k on the original motor. We repainted all the tin, replaced the clutch and pressure plate and bearing so decided to do the seal and check the endplay. It was ok. I had a 009 dist on it in 86 but decided to try a vaccum advance one this time.
I also put a new oilpump/filter on it with new pushrod tubes. While we were at it we checked the head torque and it was pretty loose. More than I expected it to be. We had driven the car before we tore it apart to redo it and it ran ok. |
