I'm wondering how long the car should be run after installing new headstuds and gasket before re-tourqing them, the car has been brought up to normal temp and driven around 3 times now...

 

every one does this differently... some people do it after the first 100 miles, then 500, then 750, then 1,000, then stop at 3,000.. some people just do it after they drive it around a few times..

It is really up to you.. I would just do it really good one time.

 

3 heat cycles

 

Thanks for the input guys! I'll do this today then, and maybe recheck them at the end of the week!
