Frank,

I retorqued my TR3 head immediately after the 30 minute break-in, while
still hot.  I've always thought the second and final retorque was at 500
miles, so I also just did it again at 300 miles, since I will be going to
VTR and will have 800 more miles on the car before returning to home.

JMHO,
