re-torque head bolts?

Posted by Josh in Pa on December 05, 2006 at 08:17:21 from (130.203.208.156):

I am rebuilding an Oliver 1655 diesel. The manual says to torque the head, warm the tractor up to operating temperature and re-torque the head. Do I re-torque the head while the tractor is hot, or let it cool down and then re-torque it? It makes sense that the bolts will stretch a little when hot, so will need to be tightened up a bit to reach the same torque.
