Henry quick (and probably dumb) question. After a new motor build, is it a requirement to re-torque/check the head studs after a certain amount of miles? I used your head studs for my build.

Also, at how many miles do you do a valve adjustment?

Thanks Henry!
You should not need to re-torque our head studs. If there is an issue with cylinder stack (IE: inconsistent machine work) you may find yourself with an inconsistent torque after a few heat cycles but generally, our head studs are a one and done proposition.
I like to do a thorough one follow up service at 500 miles and then a regular service with a valve adjustment every 10K. Oil service every 3K unless the car sits then every 18 months.
