Every builder is different. My engine builder retorqued the heads, but we're talking about the valvetrain here. We're not really discussing the heads, intake, oil pan or headers.

Aluminum heads and block may be different than your setup, because of thermal expansion.

Anyway, you know I drive my cars hard.

I can only aspire to a mileage figure of 2,300 miles. Man, that sounds like years away for me.
