BRs, Richard,
When I worked for Fel-Pro in the 80's retorqing was going out of
fashion, since most shops didn't didn't do it. If you have torque to
yield bolts dont retorqe otherwise retorque cold.

Brother Raccoons:
A quick, serious question, non-Alfa. I'm replacing the head gasket
on my other car, a Mitsubishi Mirage, and I've forgotten the typical
rules of thumb for retorquing. Should I retorque the head with the
engine hot, or after it cools back down? I remember that on my
GTV6, Fred D. recommended bringing the engine up to temp and then
retorquing hot. What do you guys do?
