	Good stuff, Ill check it when the head is off then. Last thing, the torque settings?

	if your worried go get yourself a long straight edge... and put accross from corner to corner on the head at a diagnal, this will tell you wether the head's warped or not, ether that or get some engeniers blue, and some very very fine wetNdry past the blue on, get some light machine oil and some thing as wide as the head thats flat, and gently rub the wet and try over the mating serface, if you have warped the head it will show up. a lot of old school mechanics will have a very large very thick plate of glass that they put double sided wetNdry on to do this...
