I have a persistent leak in the front right corner under the exhaust valve and noticed when doing a retorque
at 30 lbs on the big nuts that the nut directly above the exhaust valve (were the leak is) when torqued the head stud
feels like its twisting, but not turning. Once I hit the torque of 30 and release the tension the stud feels like it
springs back a little. Like I have bottomed the nut on the stud.I have the thicker copper washers on the
outside. Im not getting that with the other 7 nuts . Maybe I need my Torque wrench re calibrated not sure.
Is that normal with those really long head studs.I did notice that the nuts are wearing depression into the copper washers.After so many retorques maybe the washers need replaced.
