Some day, when my engine actually runs, I will need to know this as well.

Why would you want to? If they're loose, you'll hear 'em. If you can hear 'em, torquing them ain't gonna fix 'em. If they come loose, the studs are pulling or they're broken. The Cap'n

Just following recommendaitons for rebuilt /6 engines. Are you saying that such activity is overkill?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I was told that they should be checked after 1000 miles or so. I know they're not loose plus I had case-savers installed. I just want to make sure they are staying tight.... |

If you can adjust the valves while its in the car, then you can retorque the head studs.
