Hi Guys,
Long time no talk, finally got around to getting my Zook back on the road.
Hopefully I'll see you all out on a trip soon... maybe even AT hahaha.
Anyway my question is now that I have replaced the head gasket do I need to re-torque the head bolts?
And if so after how long would you normally do it? My dad and everything else I read suggest that after a few 100kms I should give the bolts a little tweak.
But I didn't read anything in the Factory Service Manual about it.
Thanks Brad.
