i would say not to touch em mate.... as they are tourqed to a set spec then tightened a bit more normally 90 degrees .. so you would actually be overtightening em .. and they could snap

found the information you require

Lubricate head bolts at threads and under bolt head and install bolts together with washers.

Tighten cylinder head bolts as follows:

Stage 1 requires to tighten all bolts 30-35 Nm.
Stage 2 requires to tighten all bolts to 67 -70 Nm following the sequence.
Stage 3 requires the bolts to be tighten in degrees of rotating using a special gauge tool.

Following the sequence, each bolt is turned 80° - 90° of rotation

Dave, when I did my RST, Karl also said if you're putting a head back on, then leave it 20mins between stages.

I didn't use a special angle wrench, just a blob of tipex on the top of the bolt so I could see 90degrees..
