See, now thats one thing I don't believe in. Re-torqueing head bolts or studs on jap engines. It doesn't say to do it in the TSRM. And I've put 2000 miles on my head gasket and the only time I had a socket on my ARP bolts was when I installed the head 4 months ago. PLUS, you have to remove the intake, exhaust and turbo (if applicable) braces and the turbo oil feed and return line in order to be able to properly torque the head bolts. You won't get an accurate reading if you try to torque head bolts with all that shit still bolted to the block.
My buddy installed ARP head studs on his 05 EVO and he never re-torqued them. Has close to 20K miles on them with no problems. |
