- Hi gang, It's Friday afternoon and I'm sitting at my desk thinking about MG's instead of working. (Shhh) I have often wondered why the sequence for unbolting the head is the same as for bolting it do

- loosen and retighten one at a time. The idea is to 'break loose' the 'stiction' of the nut to mating washer surface tension to get an accurate setting as you re-approach the proper torque. Then again

- Good for you! Everyone needs a "brain break" now and again. I think because you're thinking that each nut gets tightened/loosened all the way in one pass. Quoting the Haynes manual for the MG Midget

- Aaaahh yes..... bolt stretch... BUT not all head studs are the 'torque to stretch' type. Rod bolts yes... but MG studs can be re-used. Triumph studs are a torque to yield type and must be replaced ea

- You got it right on the MG studs but they ARE all "torque to stretch" types. Tho whole idea is to stretch the stud/bolt such that the tension in it is somewhere near the optimum point in its elastici

- Actually, even reuseable (i.e. non-"torque to yield") studs do stretch bit, and an accurate measurement of this stretch gives a direct measure of the compression placed on the mating surfaces (which

- During the 5 or 6 times I've R&R'd the heads on my MGB's, I never got very anal about torquing them. Best I've done is two stages of tightening. But, I always use assembly lube. Only once did I have
