I put the gas tank back on yesterday and filled it with anti freeze and ran it a little bit. Started good, ran good, happy with it. I needed to retorque the head, so I put a about a half gallon of gas in it this afternoon and let it run till empty and then took gas tank off and retorqued the head. I got maybe 1/2 to 3/4 turn on the bolts before the wrench clicked. I had a used cluster guage for gas and temp, so I went ahead and put that in while I was so close to it. Rechecked the tappets and had to adjust one exhaust valve. Ready to finish putting it back together.Head bolts are to be torqued to 90-100#s cold which I did, then get it warmed up and retorque. Why not just have a higher setting cold and not have to retorque when warm??
Now I just have a leaking rear axle seal to replace and the PTO turns all the time. Chris
