Thanks to all for input. I finally had a chance to get back in the shop and try to retorque the heads. Marked the first 3 nuts in the tourque sequence and found that they did move (tighten) after I loosened slightly. Have retorqued all left hand head nuts except the 3 that attach the oil filter canister which I cannot get the torque wrench on. These I did tighten but by placing a combination wrench on them and tapping the wrench with a rubber hammer until I moved the nut approximately as much as the other nuts moved with torque wrench.
Does anyone have a better way of doing the nuts under the oil filter?
