Got my fine MF50 diesel back from the head gasket being repaired - yippie!!!!!
However, the mechanic said when I asked, he did not bring the engine up to temperature and then re-torque the head.
For what ever reason, I thought this was standard procedure, but the mechanic pointed to the MF factory manual and it is silent on warm-up/re-torque.
Question is - should this be done?
It is a 3 cylinder 152 cu in Perkins.
Thanks!
Bill
