#107096, "Quick Head Help..."




          

After Removing head to install new gasket, and replacing a few things, should you "re-torque" the studs after so many miles to ensure no leaks occusr or head gasket blows again?

You're supposed to, but I never bother. I haven't had any problems with it, either.

Don't forget the little o-ring in the bed plate. I'd hate to see you forget it.

As DarkOne said, you should be fine without re-torquing. I haven't, and I've heard of other people passing it up and they were fine.
