Start by just installing and torquing the 4 nuts under the valve 
cover. If that nut will take full torque then you're probably fine. If not, 
the stud is pulling out of the case and you're facing much more 
than a head retorque.

NOTE: Head torque is different if your engine was built using 8mm 
studs. If you have these DON'T try to torque them to the 10mm 
torque! A rebuilt engine could come either way.
