Me either that's why I was surprised to have to. I can't even get a socket on the nut to torque the one closest to the intake manifold without removing the intake rocker.

Have you talked to your local cummins dealer to see if there is a certain serial number group thats different from the rest? Thats the onlt thing i can think of. Maybe its since yours is the first year of the 24v. I dont know thats strange

So if I were to put a 62mm on my truck head bolts would work good and I wouldn't blow my head gasket

need the correct socket and extension I believe. But you should always re-adjust the valves if you re-torque
