Howdy, howdy... Fun stuff today. Just doin' the usual tune-up and found that one of the head nuts was loose. As in not even applying pressure to the head. I guess I am lucky it didn't fall off and cause more damage. Anyways, I tightened up the bottom four for the time being. BUT I noticed the inside #4 nut wouldn't tighten. I am hoping it isn't pulling out of the case on the other side, but, uh, yeah. Doesn't look good. I double checked to make sure the stud was not turning, which is wasn't, so I stopped before more damage was done. Thus, all I have done to this point is tighten three of the four lower head nuts to 23ftlbs. The other one is probably about 14ftlbs or so. These are what I think my options are: 1) Leave it as is and just tighten the nuts as they come loose. Wait until a rebuild to take care of this properly. 2) Pull the engine, tighten all of the nuts but that one. 3) Rebuild it. Engine runs great right now. The other si�d 2) is fine. Any suggestions?
