Re: [Fot] Spitfire head torque (score: 1): Author: "Robert MacKenzie" <list@mackenzie.aero>; Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2013 08:48:45 -0500; Tim: I have been using 60 ft/lbs on my 1147s with ARP studs/nuts and a Payen gasket. I pull to 60 with 3 pulls of 20, 40, then 60. I let the head sit overnight (cold) then retorque to 60 again. Since; /html/fot/2013-04/msg00118.html (10,026 bytes)

Re: [Fot] Spitfire head torque (score: 1): Author: "Joe Curry" <spitlist@cox.net>; Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2013 07:43:29 -0700; I always re-torque once the engine comes up to operating temperature and is still hot.

Re: [Fot] Spitfire head torque (score: 1): Author: Chuck Gee <chasgee@aol.com>; Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:07:20 -0600; Just keep in mind that if you use the ARP lube the recommended torque is 40 ft-lbs. Also, if you tongue them hot you will be relieving the stretch when the motor cools down. This is not a good thing.; /html/fot/2013-04/msg00120.html (11,920 bytes)

Admittedly, it is more of an issue if you are not using ARP head bolts; /html/fot/2013-04/msg00122.html (9,833 bytes)

Re: [Fot] Spitfire head torque (score: 1): Author: "Robert MacKenzie" <list@mackenzie.aero>; Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2013 12:00:17 -0500; Just to clarify; I do re-torque again after the engine is run and cooled. If I recall correctly I was given the 60 lbs figure from ARP. Robert Just keep in mind that if you use the ARP lube the recom; /html/fot/2013-04/msg00123.html (12,623 bytes)
