  Do graphite head gaskets need to be retorqued

  All the head gaskets need to be re-torqued after installation. It is not the fault of the gasket but the steel engine studs do stretch slightly especially with heat. So re-torque (cold) after the first full heat up and then again after about 100 Miles.
