Aluminum head; 10K interval is asking for trouble

Even with proper torquing, 10K mile intervals is asking for weakening threads. Every time you torque them, you are stretching the threads just a little bit. Doing this 10x's in 100K miles when only 3 times (90K) is expected is asking for trouble. Unlike iron, aluminum does not like this.
