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.

Bill 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. Dick
