Don't loosen, just retorque them.

I also have a Bergs, new pump and a new head.

Fill it up with 50/50 yellow antifreeze and and just let it puke to its happy spot. I can not see the level in the tank after it pukes. It's about a quart or quart and a half low.

Even on the hottest days driving at 55-60, I do not go over 190.

No need to worry or do any other work than to let it find its own happy spot, and maybe drain it the following year and continue with the same procedure.
