Hey guys! It's time for my 1500mi head torque and oil change.. Any chance someone can tell me if a type 4 needs to be dropped to torque the heads? Or is there a way to do it in csr?

Thanks guys!

Why do you feel the need to re torque the heads.

^X2^
But if you are you'll have to drop the engine and strip off the tin.

Total waste of time if you aren't having problems. The nice long springy head bolts shouldn't have any problem maintaining torque/tension, especially since there is no "soft" head gasket that might compress over time.

Well sh!t... That saves me a whole afternoon. ☺️

I guess I'll just consult the Muir bible, and the Haynes manual, and do a tune up if necessary and oil change and be on my way!

Thanks a lot guys 😃 not sure what I would do without you!
