327 Head Install

#1

Home away from home

When installing the head should it be torqued with dry or lubricated studs? Should it be retorqued after?

If all goes well, I should be putting the head back on next week.

Threads clean and dry, no lubricant.

Retorque after an hour or two of running and again after a week or two; then again at least annually until no further tightening is indicated.
