This summer the 1300cc engine in my '66 will be out of car while I repaint. Though I have no valve stretching or signs of any problems whatsoever, I was thinking of sending the heads to RIMCO for a valve job as a preventative measure. I've owned the car for about 4 years and do not know the engine history before that. I'm concerned, though, that I will pull one of those 10mm studs and be forced to completely disassemble the engine to install casesavers which I'd really rather avoid. Does anyone have any idea on how likely this is to happen? Additionally, what are the thoughts on retorquing? Will I need to pull the engine in another 500 miles to retorque? I've seen it recommended for complete rebuilds but am otherwise unsure. Any advice/thoughts appreciated.
