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 broke a stud in an othewise healthy 3.6L a few years ago because I retorqued the head studs instead of just checking that they weren't broken. Only cost me about $3000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Kind of a freak thing really. As long as everything is clean with no corrosion issues I wouldn't be afraid to check them. |
