Since getting my Eldo up and running, thanks to this list, I have heard
several opinions on how to torque the heads. A local motorcycle shop told
me to back all the bolts off, then re-torque. I was told by a Guzzi owner
that if I do that on the old bikes, they will start to leak. What is the
best way to go about this? Since putting new cylinder kits on the bike, I
torqued the heads by backing each nut off and re-torquing one at a time.
Does it really matter?

Thanks,
David Szenasy
