[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 129448, member: 82"] I'd be interested in how you go with not re-torquing it. Note the hours on your machine and keep us informed as to how you go with it. The idea of re-torquing the gasket is not to stop an already leaking gasket, the gasket will compress over time with heat cycles. I got a 3D84 Yanmar done at the same place i later started working. I was told to do the gasket after 6-10 hrs, i did 8 and then did the head bolts, the gasket had indeed compressed and it took a fair amount to bring it to the correct tension. It has been running great the whole time. At the end of the day, head gaskets are cheap, so if yours fails later, they aren't expensive to replace. [/QUOTE]
