Well, its only $20 for the new head, and I don't see it as a waste of my money. Oh, are there any torque specs I have to worry about, or should I just tighten them down and call it done? Thanks.
Torque 'em 'till they smoke, then back off a quarter turn....

If there's a torque value, I've never seen one. I just snug mind down evenly, then tighten the to what feels like they are tight enough they won't come undone yet not too tight that I come any where close to stripping the threads in the aluminum block. Just make sure they all feel they are tightened the same amount.
