Well this subject is like A$$ HOLES, everybody has there way and now that i am pushen 60 years old and built many engines the only thing i have found is that if you run the engine to operating temp and i don't mean for five or ten mins. and the oil temp is up to operating temp and water temp is where it should be i toqure them down and have never found a tight head bolt or stud if you take pressure off i have tryed this and ended up with a coolant leak now if your tryen to retorque a cold engine then why bother . Chase all bolt holes with a bottoming tap and chase the threads on the bolts or studs and if it has studs then chase the nuts and make sure that they turn freely into the hole that they are going start with clean dry holes and lightly lube the threads and the bottom side of the bolt or nut and put the darn thing together and then run it till it is hot then retorque and be done with it this is not rocket sicense . And if you are in doubt then have someone that knows what he is doing to help ya .
