Default Cometic gaskets - retorque?
When using cometic head gaskets, do you have to re-torque the head bolts after warming the engine up? I've searched but couldn't find anything about this. I was just told this is a requirement. Does anybody know?

On Darton Sleeved blocks yes you need to retorque after a warm up/cool down.

I would call Cometic to see if they suggest it on other block configurations also.

Thanks, Perry

I do after 1 fire up warming cycle, but that is just me, retorque rockers also.
Different metals expend at different rates, so I just make sure.
