well i was putting my heads back on my car and i guess i stripped a head stud because it wont hold torque. i did the three step procedure that is used wiht ARP head stud nut 30-50-75. but i was putting on the last nut and i am about to torque to 75 and i get to about 60 lbs and all of the sudden i watch my needle on my torque wrench fall to 20. i was so pissed and left the stud in there over night, well the nut sealed to the stud and the next day i turned it to tighten it and it wouldnt tighten anymore so im thinking i stripped the stud in the block. could i just retap the block and retap the stud and should it work?
