Speaking of re-torqueing, on a FI car and the Queen is FI, I will have to remove the plenum and much of the associated lines in addition to the motor stabilizer bracket before there is enough room to get the "C" shaped tool in place.
Everyone knows I'm the WORST source for info on how to do a head gasket, perhaps the BEST source on how NOT to do it?
Anyway. Like most things, there's a camp that says don't bother to retorque. Not saying that's a camp you should be in, just saying. Some don't retorque.
Part of Matt’s instructions were to re-torque and because he machined the head, I’m compelled to follow his instructions.:
