Head install... Quick Question????? Im doing a head swap... Bought arp studs and gm gaskets... I have torqued everything down and now realized that when changing lifters I did not torque down the lifter trays to the right torque value. Could I pull the heads back off to torque the trays down without having to get new gaskets since they have already seen torque? I know the arp studs can be reused just not sure about the gaskets... The car has not been started or anything since the heads have been put on. Let me know asap. Thanks

Shouldn't be any problem to pull the heads and just retorque and let her eat again, especially if you used an MLS gasket.
