Re: Proper way to re-torque?
PS.....the two nuts on the radiator water goose-neck are very tight to the body and I doubt a socket will fit over those, only an open end wrench, so how do you torque those? There also seems to be a odd nut almost under the distributor so the same question?
The above nuts are close to the body??? Is the engine installed backwards? The rad outlet is usually at the front and very easy to reach.
The idea of backing off is to release the nut from tension, aka friction. Loosen one nut at a time, then torque right away. Sequence tightening is done on a fresh gasket, yours is not.
