On my G5 and other air cooled motors I've rebuilt, I always retorqued
the heads and adjusted the valves at 500-1000 miles. Is this still the
collective wisdom? When I rebuilt this Eldo motor I torqued, let it sit
a few days, and retorqued. New cylinder and head gaskets of course. Is
that enough or do you all still retorque after a few break-in miles?
