I read that felpros have NO need to re torque. just say in


Yup, that’s what they say. I retorque them because they get loose.

My brother had a 440 in a Dart in 1984ish. It had composite gaskets like that. Blew the gasket.

Almost all the bolts were loose on both heads. Both gaskets were failing. The failing gasket caused the bolts to get loose. It’s a self feeding problem.

That was detonation. My brothers buddy in auto shop put his whiz bang tune up on it.

Once the detonation was gone and the heads retorqued it didn’t fail.
