Head gasket question?????? When I put my heads on I used the new head gasket on stretching of the head studs tightening them and then lossening them then tightening them??. Will this cause them to leak or hurt them. I need to know ASAP where I can put it back together. Let me know guys. Thanks in advance.

Head studs do not stretch. Just tork to specified amount.
Stock GM bolt stretch and are not recommended for reuse (although I know of some poeple who have done it
