You will hear as many different opinions as there are grains of sand on the beach...Probably don"t matter at all--- operating temp.for me...

Run to operating temp & let it cool off. Then, retorque.

I retorque after it first warms up and again after about 2 hours of run time. Both times bolts normally turn 1/2 turn or more.
