Timing and Re-Torque???

tachessher · 06-30-2007, 11:43 PM

Hey guys,

I'm gonna be bumping my timing up on monday, since I did a friends the other day, and I know how now... I'm also thinking of re-torqueing my stock head bolts for extra insurance. What do yall think about re-torqueing? What do you think I should torque to? I'm gonna be bumping the timing to 15.5* or 16* w/ a stock head gasket, and stock head bolts. I know I probably don't NEED to, but I'd like the extra insurance...

Thanks!

I wouldn't retourqe a head that has already been seated for some time and disrupt it. Run it as is.

Well I bumped the timing to 15.75*. I know it sounds like a weird number, but it converted to an easier number in inches... Anyways, truck runs awesome now. Thanks for yall's help!!!
