When you guys say to re torque the head bolts do you loosen them first or just see if they will tighten back-up to the wrench setting? I've redone mine several times and not loosened them and they seem to all be at the spec ed setting. As in the wrench just clicks at 100. None of the bolts have moved at all. Should I loosen them and come back-up in increments?
