Agree with Chris on making sure head bolt threads are clean prior to installation to get a proper torque setting. I either wire brush any bolts I intend to re-use or just use new bolts. I also run a thread chaser (not a tap) down all bolt holes to clean them out. Amazing how much crap you can dig out of some head bolt and exhaust cover bolt holes.
