Arp head stud installation
Quick easy question,I've noticed some guys recomend that you re-torque the head studs after a few heat cycles,Are you just loosening all the studs and then re-tightening them to spec or what? How many guys actually use this process?
Only reason I ask because I have always been told anytime you loosen or untorque the studs the gasket needs to be changed or it may not seal right,and I don't want to mess anything up.

let the car heat up and cool off a bit, then just make sure they are torqued as they should be, dont loosen them

That's exactly what I did, and none of them needed anything.I just wanted to make sure I was understanding it right.
