Over torqued head nuts

[fatfreddy]

I had a senior moment when re torquing my head nuts and set the wrench to 42 ft lb instead of 22...

Whilst doing them up I thought to myself, this feels a bit tight, so I stopped before the wrench clicked and, luckily, before snapping a stud. Cured the coolant weep a treat it did...

Now, the question is, back them off and re-torque to the correct setting or leave well alone?

Leave alone and deal with the fall out if any next time.

It always pay to use the smallest torque wrench size possible as you get a much better “ feel” when doing such jobs

Leave them alone always were a 22 ft lb , then hoy them up

Cheers. Looks like I’ll leave them alone.
