How often are you checking head bolts

[Lankeeyankee]

New to 1/5. 30 years of nitro 1/10
Just purchased a Kraken Vekta and went with the Zenoah 34 from DMM
How often should I check the head bolts on this new engine?

In short, never. Im not sure these have enough oompf to loosen them up. Perhaps a 2 bolt but never had a loose 4 bolt before

Weve had a few guys that had few guys that had loose bolts from the get go. Normally modified engines. Never hurts to check, but typically it's a nonissue

Oh just fine, most of the businesses said f the governor. They even eased up off us at work, as we haven't had a positive employee for over a month. Everyone is pretty sick of the silliness. Besides now the election is over covid seemed to hit the back burner ?

I do it after break in, and then whenever I have the shroud off I tend to just check it

 

[RcJunkie13]

I’ve never done mine

Never only wheel nuts and sometimes exhaust bolts

May be, I should check mine, my wife is constantly telling me I have a screw loose ?
