<VV> Head Torque - Valve Adjust Nuts come loose?

[Matt Nall]

Is this a common occurance? 
Were the rocker studs not torqued properly? (I used a "click" torque wrench set 
to 35 lbs to retorque the rocker studs.)
Could this be heat related? (My exhaust is very close to the head - custom 
exhaust.)

Not trying to start a religious war, but I normally adjust my rocker nuts while 
the engine is running. Now I am concerned about loosening the rocker stud/head 
bolts when I make this adjustment.

Any thoughts?

  Yes... happens many tines...  just the original torque was not high enough...


 When you adjust Valves with engine running.. it's heated up!  Metal swells!


  You've done the correct fix!   Drive on..
