    Cutring + Spacer Head Retorque

    Hey Guys,

    I recently installed a cutring head gasket + copper spacer on my M52 and I had a few questions.

    I'd like to retorque the ARPs, but i'm unsure of the best way to go about. I reached out to ARP to no avail.

    Should I loosen them one at a time and then retorque them? Really not trying to compromise the seal at all.

    Torque each. If they don’t move crack them loose by 30 degrees and then retorque to spec.
