I am going to replace my injectors, should I check the torque on the head bolts?

    I would not mess with them, you just going to open up a new can of worms. If you're going to move them at all just put studs in one at a time or leave it alone.

  • Stock bolts.   And I agree, don't touch them. Re-torque on a torque-to-yield bolt = snap! (most of the time not, but it would if I tried it)

It's not a necessary thing to do, unless you want to check it for your own peace of mind.  Plus, you'd have to take off all rocker assemblies to check all bolts, versus just the injector hold-downs for the injector change.

Thanks guys I think I will just leave them alone, I didn't realize I had to remove the rockers, I have never been in there

I agree with everyone else, it’s best to leave them alone if your not replacing them.

Stock bolts.

There is a process to it but is a tedious one. Not going to help anything unless the head had been off recently.

I will leave them alone.  Only problem I have is a intermittent miss for the last year that I can not find.

Thanks for the reply.

If no codes my guess is injectors or ac noise.

No codes, ac noise is .032 hoping the injectors cure the problem.  It is 12deg here now and I don't need the truck, it will be awhile.   Thanks
