Alot of posts here, and in them is various ideas. I believe in my original post I suggested to loosen and retighten correctly. I think I will stick with that. Someone else suggested to just put a torque wrench on and make sure they are atleast as tight as they are suppose to be without reloosening. That would still leave room for the bolts to not be tightened evenly since some, if not all, are to tight. Unevenly is what causes warpeage. I know the head is a big old heavy head but some of its walls are not none to thick. It could warp over time when heated up real hot with bolts tightened unevenly. Just my 2 cents worth.
