I'm assuming that will be included in the new kitIf you aren’t planning any engine modifications like turbo or SC, they aren’t needed. If you planning on it then also plan on Cometic gasket.

I called ARP three years ago when I installed the 1fz stud kit from Paradise Racing and they told me the same thing; “follow your gasket manufacturers instructions, re-torquing the studs is not necessary”. I asked the Mud community and, at that time, there were several members who had installed arp studs and never did a second torque.I keep seeing that across different forums, but ARP's site says the following:
Do I need to re-torque my head bolts or studs?
If you follow the ARP installation instructions, there should be no need to do a re-torque. However, it may be necessary under certain circumstances if the gasket manufacturer’s instructions require it, particularly if a fire ring has been installed. ARP recommends not doing a re-torque on a hot engine.
