Only my opinion, I see no reason to back the nuts off. If they are already at spec, you won't tighten them anymore with a properly set torque wrench. You will probably find that some will tighten a few pounds and others won't. Only possiliity of breaking them is if the shanks are excessively rusted. Some people advise not to use the old studs but to replace them. Yes readjust the valves, when warm.
