Re: Re-torquing ARP headstuds

I say don't loosen them. I've heard about people loosening them then retorquing, but what the hell is the point of doing that if they are already torqued. What "retorquing" does is just make sure nothing has become loose. You are basically checking your work from before. I didn't loosen mine up, and when I checked 'em there was one that was questionable, but the rest were just as tight as when I put 'em in. I've also reused these studs at least 3 times and put torque on them maybe 5 or 6 times. If it all of a sudden becomes easy to turn, then replace 'em. haha.
