retorque after head gasket install
Ok guys i just got done putting new top end gaskets on the mustang (head / intake / exhaust / ect.) and we got her started and warmed up to opp temp and let her cool down.
now my question is... how much should i retorque the head gaskets (napa falpro kit) if any?
the book says to torque to a certain number (cant remember what it was) then turn an extra half turn.... so if i have to retorque it what's a good number to go to.
another question.... should i retorque new or should i give it more than one heat cycle before retorqueing heads,u.l intake and headers? also should i retorque more than once? as you might be able to tell im alittle paranoid about the whole thing.

I would retorque the intake bolts, mainly because last time i took my car apart a few of the intake bolts were a little loose when i took em out. Same thing with exhaust bolts.
