Going to re-torque the head bolts tomorrow as I've pretty much run the Frog in now. What setting should I put my torque wrench on?

I always set my torque wrench to 70NM. I assume mu wrench is not ammazingly accurate and I~'d rather be tight than slack.

If you over tighten the head bolts won't that squash and distort the gasket? Whats going to break next!?

if you overtorque the head you'll 'distort the fire-rings' which can lead to them burning out (particularly between bores) due to the fact that the are more exposed. I dont know how true that is, but i did notice that one of my gaskets had a funny profile on the fire ring and did burn out between 2 and 3. I've seen the future and tbh its Pie
