There's a guy on "another" site that has been reading the ARP website. On it, they mention proper ways to torque bolts. It mentions doing the fasteners up to torque and undoing them 5 times before final torquing.
One of the guys is under the impression that he needs to torque his headgasket studs up to the 85 ft. lbs, then release them 5 times before final torqueing.
Does this make any sense at all. I thought that headgaskets were a one time thing. Once they are clamped you can't unclamp them and do them up again over and over and still get a good result.
Any thoughts?
