Some say torque the longstuds and then forget about them. Others say its important to check the torque on the studs and bolts after a few warm runs?

I have used the ARP grease and have tightened them 128NM as the instructions say, but is it really neccesary to check them again, and when should that be if it is?

Personally I would recheck them next day when fully cooled down.

I checked them today, and they were all still tightened correct. But it is always good to be sure. Should i check them again later on?

The long studs are mountune and the 4 studs in the end of the block are arp.

If you've done a few warm runs, and they are same tightness I can't see them loosening now.

Ok. I did 3 warm runs and checked and they were all still tight enough.
