This may sound like a dumb question but I don't know the answer. I put an O-ringed head on with ARP studs last month. Torqued as prescribed ran the truck then torqued the studs hot. I then "checked the torque" the next weekend, nothing had moved.

My question is what is the procedure for retorquing a head? Do you break the torque one nut at a time or do like I did the week after and just put a torque wrench on the bolts and make sure they are still tight? If you do break the torque would it hurt to add some more ARP lube to nuts?

 

Take the nut off, relube, torque, move to the next one.
