Head Bolts

I had to change the head gasket a few days ago. I was told to re-torque the head after a few heat cycles. Do I have to remove the injector lines all over again to get to like 5 of the head bolts that are not accesable? Or can you just re-torque all the ones you can get to?

I would torque them all. Injector lines aren't that hard to loosen and move out of the way for a second.

I just take them loose at the injector end, it allows you enough slack to get on them. Usually don't even have to bleed them afterwards.

Definatley do them all. I would do it with a cold engine, too.
