I disagree with you there. I lost 2 felpro hg on my d50 from not retorquing. They will blow. It happens all the freaken time on starions. oldcolt will definitely agree with me on this one. Even an ajusa will blow without retorquing. It says right in the fsm to retorque after warming up. We believe it has to do with the head bolts sitting higher on one side than the other.
