I am getting ready finally to install a turbo on my 92 F-350 7.3 IDI. I have read that it is good practice to re-torque the head bolts. I plan to run a max of 12-15psi boost. Should I remove each head bolt in the sequence, clean the threads and oil the threads prior to torqueing them to 10 pounds over spec? I would install studs if I could afford it. But that may happen down the road. I have a new latest gen Banks kit, Stage 1 Injectors ordered from Wes, 90cc Moose pump from Wes. So I am trying to eliminate a problem before it happens. An Air to Water intercooler is on the list to be had soonest also. I think it may be a bit simpler to do as far as space required and piping. And 2 ways to do that even! Use engine cooling system or a separate dedicated smallish radiator and electric water pump for it.
