If the head bolts need retorquing, do it. Twin-cam 900s have head bolts that are meant to be replaced when you do the head, and not to be retorqued. I believe in retorquing, but if you've got a leak, that's not going to fix it. If it's overheating, it's probably warped and leaking. I wouldn't guarantee that the leak is a bad gasket. Might be a bad head. I don't know if Eriksson Industries still does B-engine head repairs or not, but many years ago they were cutting out the bad area around the exhaust valves and welding in new metal and machining it to take a new valve guide and new seat.
