As long as the valve guide issue is resolved they are.

Hi Gary,
Congrats on hitting the 40 hour mark! How's your temps now? I'll try sending
you a few photo's of my repair tomorrow.

It takes five minutes to re torque the whole head...BUT I have replaced the
mount without doing so as well with no problems.

One question about reinstalling the motor mount.
My book shows the two nuts that hold the motor mount onto the engine must be
torqued down to 47 ft/lbs. Must the entire head now be retorqued, or can I
just retorque the two nuts back to 47 ft/lbs?
Thanks for any advice.
Kelly

The A&P used a dynamic balancer (or whatever it's called) with sensors
attached to the reduction unit and the cowl. The second sensor watched for a strip
of metal attached to one of the prop blades. I had to run the engine (with
the prop on of course) at my cruise speed (4000 rpm) a few times while his
little computer figures out where to add weights and how much weight. After 3
runs, he added two bolts/ washers/ & nuts to the spinner mounting piece (the piece
that is attached to the prop hub and contains flanges for the spinner to be
attached to).
I don't remember what his tool is called, but it does work.
Hope this helps.
