Hey Guys,

I fitted the cylinder head with a new gasket on my RB30.
I tightened the head bolts as per repair manual instructions.

I've been wondering whether it is necessary to re-torque the head bolts after few hundred km's of running.

If it is either necessary or good practice after fitting a new head gasket, then

Does it mean I need to re-tension the timing belt as well??!!

Adjusting the timing belt tension is a PITA job in RB30 Patrol 'cos the both top and bottom parts of timing cover must come out
along with the crank pulley(harmonic balancer, all drive belts(alternator, AC & power steering), radiator shroud & fan.
An exercise that I would like to avoid unless necessary.

Thanx
Dom
