Quick question: When you replace the head gaskets, do you need to retorque the heads after a certain time/mileage? If so, what?

Thanks!

No retorqing needed unless the mfg of the head gaskets recommends it. If you used Felpro's, then do not retorque them.

I went to retorque my aluminum heads with Fel-Pro head gaskets because the Edelbrock instructions said to do it.

They didn't need it, the torque hadn't budged,
