Default Re: Question about using Brumfield head

Yes, I re-torqued the head, but only once. I torque the head to 55 ft lbs the first time, then after about a week's worth of driving, I torque to 55 ft lbs again. I usually don't do it a third time. I have been involved with old cars since I was 25 and have rebuilt many engines, both Ford and non-Ford, always doing the same routine. I've never had to replace a head gasket on an engine that I've rebuilt. Maybe I'm lucky.
