AFR Eliminators - re-torque?
Do they need to be re-tourqed after a few heat cycles or is it set and forget?

Re: AFR Eliminators - re-torque?
I don't have the eliminators, just old 195's. They used the same Fel-pro head gasket #1003. Did you use that one? The instructions that came with the head gasket recommended a retorquing after a couple heat cycles. I retorqued mine the same time I replaced the break-in shorty headers for LT's. I would retorque them if you have the means, couldn't hurt.
I can't wait to upgrade to the Eliminators, probably full CNC too....

I'd check the instructions that came with the gasket. Most of the time retorqueing depends on what type of gasket is used.

Re: AFR Eliminators - re-torque?
I looked. It states retorqueing is necessary on high compression and forced induction engines. It doesn't define high compression though.
I checked 10 of my head bolts on one head. None moved. I'm going to assume that the rest are fine.
Thanks
