JZZ30MAN Regular Location: NSW Registered: August 2002	Re: Retorquing 7MGTE Head Fri, 14 February 2003 02:42 I have had 3 off &M BHG's and I have no faith in the retorque after speaking to a lot of people a few years ago. If you want to do it you should start with the torque wrench at 50ft/lbs then say 58 (OEM torque), then 62, then 68, then 72 max. Problem is there is a good chance the HG will crack when doing this retorque, also head bolt threads have not been cleaned nor the threads in the block and no lubrication. Also I have heard that the bolt should be backed off a 1/4 turn before tightening. Good luck. I'd be changing the HG and bolts. Also considering alternative engine management and a new knock sensor if SupraGTE's experiences are anything to go by. Which I think they are. Michael [Report message to a moderator]
