The instructions I got with my A1 studs said to retorque to 125ft/lbs after the first heat cycle. I have done that and since had between 20-30heat cycles. I'm wondering if I should just put the torque wrench on with a hot motor and crank to 125 or let it cool down, remove each nut, lube and step torque one at a time?

The answer to that has been debated quite a bit. If you search you'll find some threads about that very topic. My first search turned up six threads specifically about it. Out of it here are two that looked decent although I didn't read them: ARP retorque questions - CompD Head bolt retorque? - CompD
