I went the re-torque the headbolts route. I was amazed at how little effort it took to loosen the bolts (one at a time). Couldn't have been more than 20# of torque on any of them! I don't know how much torque the prescribed 44# plus one quarter turn equates to, but my head bolts are a helluva lot tighter now than they were!
Time will tell I guess, but after one relatively short drive my reservoir was not puking coolant at all. Got my fingers crossed!
Thanks for the advice guys!
