<DIV>I did not re-torque my ARP’s after a TR4A rebuild and 2 years later blew a
head gasket with no evidence of burn thru. Studs were loose and nuts came off
much to easily. My fault as I always intended to do a re-torque but didn’t.

used APR on my last 3 TR3 rebuilds, never a problem. Never heard anything
about not having to re-torque. I do after 2-3 heat cycles then again
at 200 mile with the first oil change.

<DIV dir=ltr>I used ARP head bolts on my last Stag. I torqued down the head, but
never in the last 5 or so years did I re-torque the heads. I recall speaking to
a technician over at APR and he said no need to re-torque I have not run
into an issue. But am wondering what other's have to say.
