Re: WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF..(GE HEAD STUD QUESTION) (ls-vtEK4)
I've been debating pulling the cams to retorque the bolts on my build too.
With the heating and cooling cycles it allows everything to expand and contract a bit. There is probably stress relieving going on as well hence the need to retorque the studs. I will try it, maybe if you do too post your results on if the torque changed.

Post your results when you re-torque. Did the nuts move?
