I I have some oil oozing from the head gasket at the left, rear of my TR4 powered +4 (very slight amount) and thought I would try retorquing the head bolts before going whole hog and replacing the copper gasket.
However, when I removed the valve cover, I realized that I couldn't get access with a socket and torque wrench to the upper row of head nuts (the ones that live amongst the valves under the valve cover) due to obstruction by the valve springs.
Do you use "crow's foot" wrenches to retorque? Do the valve springs need to be removed to retorque the head?
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers.
