Just retorque from where they are at. Start just a little on the low
side and do the sequence. There is no reason to back off.

head gaskets compress so much that head bolts are usually loose anyhow.
that's why i'd say it was more important if changing the gasket to
tourque
at assembly, then after about 5 miles,
then again at 500 miles.

Since getting my Eldo up and running, thanks to this list, I have heard
several opinions on how to torque the heads. A local motorcycle shop
told
me to back all the bolts off, then re-torque. I was told by a Guzzi
owner
that if I do that on the old bikes, they will start to leak. What is
the
best way to go about this? Since putting new cylinder kits on the bike,
I
torqued the heads by backing each nut off and re-torquing one at a time.
Does it really matter?

Thanks,
David Szenasy
