On any engine/head rebuild for my cars I do as Henry Ford recommended over 75
years ago, torque to specs, let the car idle in place for 10 minutes then take
the idle up 500 RPM's for about 5 minutes, take a 15 minute ride and then
retorque while warm, drive the car for 500 miles and retorque again "COLD",
seems to work on old Fords, so I see no reason this should not also apply on
our LBC's.  "FT"
