Retorque heads?
Just did a rebuild on my heads about 2000 miles ago and have had to Retorque my manifold bolts do I need to or can I Retorque the head bolts if so do I have to remove the manifold?

Do NOT retorque head bolts. Once they are set, they are set. Manifold bolts will loosen up sometimes.
