I have a '78 650 standard that only has about 4000 miles on it. I haven't tried to start it yet because I want to fix the few problems that it has first. The head gasket has a leak and I'm wondering if retorquing the head to try to stop the leak is safe or advisable. I'm confident that the engine has not been apart since new, so I'm sure that all the gaskets etc. are original. I would (obviously) like to avoid removing the engine from the frame if I can avoid it. Thanks.
