I am fretting
I "think" that after a new head gasket (TR7 engine, but probably the same on all of them) the WSM is a retorque at 500 miles. Makes sense as that was presumably the first service after running in.
I understand Faversham classics (stags) insist on 500 miles and 1000 miles if you want their warranty. Something in that?
I have retorqued after 1 heat cycle, planning on doing about 150 miles tomorrow, and another 250 on Saturday. Is it a good idea to retorque after the 150 miles (after being left overnight to cool) or should I leave it until I get to 500ish miles?
After that, I won't get the chance to put too many more miles on it before the RBRR, which will clock up nearly 2500 miles.
Or am I worrying about nothing?
Good advice is required!

Re: Head retorque after gasket change
Will do Alun.
I need to stop worrying...
On the plus side I have just ordered some new Bosch wipers, and as I am about to run out of antifreeze after this refill, another 5L of that.
Got to love carparts4less, cost under £20 delivered....
