Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I plan to check/adjust the tappets on my 89GQ SWB over the coming long weekend and was wondering whether I should retension the head studs before I do the tappets. The engine is a GEM reconditioned unit that has done about 40,000ks since install 2 years ago.

Appreciate any sensible advice.

wouldnt worry about it mate, by the sound of it, the engines been runnin fine for the last 2 yrs so if it aint broke dont fix it

your more likely to do more damage by disturbing the gasket, it would be seated in well so id leave it, if theres no watery oil, bubbles in ur radiator or compression loss leave it.
