Do you loosen them up and retorque them one by one or you loosen them all up first and retorque them all down as per specified order?

there may be more than one "right" way. The way I do it is loosen them one at a time to zero torque, then tighten to the first step. say 50 ft lbs. and then go on to the next one. When all the nuts or bolts are at that level then start your tighten sequence just as if you were putting on the gasket for the first time.
I am thinking about trying the SCE ICS Titan copper self-sealing head gaskets also, let us know how that goes.
