SF750 and re-torque the head

[mikeringrose]

Hello,

After how many miles or warm ups should I re-torque the head?

Regards

Opinions vary, but 500 miles worked for me!

No strict mileage, as there are so many variables.  If ambiant temperature is low, perhaps sooner, as more severe expansion/contraction takes place.  Most important thing is that you do re torque....some people don't  :

A good idea to check the engine mount bolts at the same time. Two of the headbolts are difficult to get to with an ordinary socket; it;s wothwhile purchasing or borrowing a crowsfoot for this,

A crowsfoot can be useful for limited access places, but don't forget you need to calculate the correct torque, based on the length of the foot. Otherwise, you will be under-torquing the nuts.
