Message: [QUOTE="Strokersace, post: 894581, member: 622"] I've done 4 sets of ARP studs. 2 were with new headgaskets and 2 were replacing 1 by 1. These were all 7.3's. Never once did I do a hot retorque on them. If installed properly and with a 4th torque stage at 125lbs above the recommended 3 stages are, there isn't an issue. I took my time and waited at least 30 minutes between stages too. The least amount of miles since studs on one of the motors was 20,000. Pulling a heavy load for nearly every bit of it. The other motors have 30-40K with pulling loads and everything's good so far. I did drive them easier for the 1st couple hundred miles just to make sure things were ok though. Maybe I had good luck, idk. And these motors were also NOT complete bottom up rebuilds either. So take it for what its worth. I believe ARP is the only one that doesn't require a retorque. [/QUOTE]
