Yes.

I don't know anyone that does that; the instructions don't say to, and no one I've known has even loosened the studs as part of the step-up torquing.
Originally posted by streetlightning question is do i need to, if so , do i do it with the HG installed?
You perform the torque sequence in steps (25-65-85-100 or whatever), with the headgasket installed, as part of the longblock assembly. You do not loosen the studs after a torque step. The whole point is that you don't want to torque them from 0 to 100ft/lbs in one step, as this can stretch the stud or damage the threads.
You only use the moly lube on the nut end.

Yeah, even stock head bolts have a step torque cycle.

Dave may have been doing that because he had to chase the threads in his block (per that post) to get the studs in. Perhaps he will comment on that.
