Hi All,
While we are on the subject....
When retorquing the heads how far do you back off the nuts ? I know that
there is a sequence for tightening but how about loosening?
For what its worth. After rebuilding my 70 Ambo...I have run it close to 400
miles. I didn't go through a retorquing procedure but I have been measuring
the rocker clearances very often with no change. Yes I did use new gaskets.
Did I do a bad thing? There aren't any oil leaks and the engine has been
consistent through the time.
I will re torque before riding season this spring but I am curious as to
people's thoughts.
Regards....Ian
