Re-torque Head bolts on 2210

If you checked the Torque and all seems good. Just keep a eye on and run it. :thumbsup:

It seems it's 50/50 whether to loosen then retorque vs. just tightening the bolts, I used tractor 4 hours today and it ran fine, no overheating etc. The oil does not show any sign of water contamination, I may just keep an eye on it and just change the gasket in a few months. Since cleaning the grease/grim off the block I didn't notice any signs of leakage allday.

Did you try to just tighten them to see if you could get any more torque on them? Say setting wrench to 132lb or so?

I have not done anything to it yet, I got the 22mm socket but I need a deep socket for one, think a 7\8 would work for that one bolt, picked up a 7/8 at HF for $1

The 2 headbolts in view look like nuts on threaded rods and not actually a bolt, that's why I mentioned earlier about spraying them with lubricant, I have not pulled valve cover yet.

I dont think you can ge wrong running it if you see no seepage and your not running hot.

It may occur again when the tractor gets warmer like on a hotter day.
