Default Question on retorquing heads after a head gasket replacement.
The instructions for my new Premium Head Gasket replacement states that, “the cylinder head must be retorqued after the first 500 miles of operation to 55 ft. lbs. using the correct head bolt torquing sequence.”



However I don’t anticipate driving more than 100 or so miles this year.
What would be an acceptable time frame to retorque my heads?
Thanks for any information offered.
