- Hi Hal, Retorque is always in order after at least a half dozen hot cold cycles of the engine. Retorque is also done with a back off on the nut at least a 1/4 turn and then redo to the specs. Rocker

- I'm a big advocate of using a blanking sleeve and blocking off the bypass outlets (use a late 1275 pump and there isn't even an outlet to block off. Yes, the engine always runs cool but I do it for m
