generally speaking i think it's unnecessary to back off head bolts. guzzi
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.

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?
