Default Classic Roaster Cooling
If I were to re-torque the Edelbrock aluminum heads on my 302, would I back off on the bolt first and then retorque in order to break the thread lock first or just tighten to proper torque? They have been on for about two years and 5K miles.

I am getting some goofy temp fluctuations that I believe are due to the crappy Classic Roadsters radiator, but I thought maybe there is a slight head gasket leak.

The car runs fairly cool around town (with fluctuations) but much hotter on the highway.

Ideas?
