Just a note on the retorque issue here: Many do not understand that on a head bolt retorque you need to crack the bolts loose then retighten. Generally the breakaway torque will be higher than the specification, so if you just check them clockwise they will all appear to be tight enough. Back each one off in turn (NOT ALL AT ONCE) maybe 1/8 turn (45*) then retighten to spec. If you mark the starting position before breaking loose, you will likely find that the ending position when retorqued is turned a fraction farther clockwise. This will convince you that it was a good idea. Doing it more than once is overkill IMHO.
