Head Bolts

[xrwagon]

Hi all, want to see what you guys think about re torquing the head bolts, my head was off last month, i have a steel shim head gasket. I have about 400 k’s on motor since putting the head back on, i have noticed a little trickle near the spark plug on 4, at first i thought it was a rocker cover leak but its a little oily on one part of the gasket on the head. Should i re torque to 75?

Yes you should re torque a steel shim head gasket at about 500 miles and when it's warmed up. Good luck
