Would there be any benifit from re-torquing the head bolts on my 87 motor that has 91k original miles that is putting out about 24lbs of boost, why I'm I asking this question is don't the head bolt stretch some when under boost and would this not be a good preventitive maintanance step to maybe prolong not getting a blow head gasket. :) :)
 
no.......stock heads have torque to yield bolts and have been stretched already....don't mess with them until you have to (and you will have to running 24 lbs....):D
