So, what about the spark plug side of the block?  I've got the same
thing as Ray does - only on the plug side.  It's not drinking water
or running hot (I guess, no temp gauge, bad me;-)... and I've
wondered about retorqueing too.  Anything to be aware of on that
side?  Or just pull the bolts, inspect, and retorque?

TIA
