[Amc-list] check torque vs. retorque

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

The TSM for the iron 195.6OHV says

	"check torque every 4000 miles"

and also

	"re-torque every 8000 miles"

What the hell does this really mean? I assume the first is simply stick a 
torque wrench on it set to 60 ft/lbs and make sure nothing's come loose; 
but does the second one really mean I gotta LOOSEN the headbolts, then 
re-torque? That seems like asking for trouble! What is this, 1930? Don't 
answer that.
