Do they need to be retoqued again after first warm up?

I torque them to 75Ft.Lbs with oil under the head of the bolt. I do not re torque them after they leave my shop.

Thats is what I have done also with the stock heads and head bolts using 30wt oil.

If you are using ARP bolts and/or their thread sealant lube, then the torque specs need to be adjusted to the mfg specs.
