Headbolts retorque?

i've checked them a few times, but only had to retorque them once. after about 2 weeks of driving i checked them and they had loosened a little. since then (about 8000 miles) they've been fine.

Did you cycle torque them when you installed them? After going through that back breaking tightening/loosening stuff 5X and ending up at a final torque of 83 ft lbs, I'd be surprised if mine loosened over time.
