I'm using the newest felPro head gasket. Should I re-torque it after some miles? |

Per Fel-pro you are not supposed to, its a set and forget. Following Doc's advise and some others I have gone back through after a few heat cycles and checked the torque on the head bolts just to make sure they are all good (in one case I found 2 that needed a little more pull to get the click...but at least after that they were all even...) -D.Idiot |

I usally bring all to torque...wait a few minutes(drink a beer,have a smoke)...then run thru torque pattern and recheck....then drive it like you stole it |

I like to re-torque after a few heat cycles and again at 500 miles when you do the valve lash. |
