Default How often should you retorque new head studs?

After putting in ARP studs, how often should you check them and make sure they are still torqued to spec? 2-3 days afterwards, and then monthly or is there another interval to use?

ARP studs are not torque to yield like stockers. Torque them to spec and as long as nothing leaks your good..lol
