Head bolt re-torquing

[Ben Barkow <dr.ben@xxxxxxxxx>]

On previous boxers, conscientious attentions to the head bolts and cylinder
studs were important. Not so on the Oilheads where after the 600 mile check,
nothing but neglect to the whole dozen of them - except for loosening two
studs for valve sideplay adjustment.

I'd appreciate any information on re-torquing or the avoidance of same. It
seems there's a 90 plus 90 degree spec on the cylinder studs (must make them
pretty tight, eh?). Is that the way to do it or could a max torque rating be
used?

Cheers.
