Default Re: Head Bolt Torque-Hot or Cold?

hi; we used to rebuild lots of engines at the shop i worked at... never started them up... always torqued them cold... engine out of car... never had a comeback or complaint... i still do it that way... good luck... oh by the way , follow the sequence of torqueing in steps gradually - like 35lbs, then go up to 55lbs, then go up to 65lbs.. yo get the idea... always coated my head gaskets with silver paint,and let dry first.. never a problem -yet... lots of engines brought to life to my credit... and stll going....kevin
