i just need to remove the valve cover to re torque the head bolts right. I havent put the new gasket or new head bolts on yet i just wanna make sure......Im getting prepared to do my own head gasket and timing belt..i cant afford the labor....$hit it cant be that hard,,,,,i mean how do they expect me to save up to buy a turbo when i need to replace the HG and get a new Timing belt @ 60,000mi......

LOL...

Just a quick question. Who's "they?" The mighty gods or "performance" or "fairness?"

Unfortunately, both of those entities are in reality called the "evil demons of Life is a Bitch."

Make sure you buy a set of service manuals. I obtained a set from ebay for about $20.

lol

anyway, to answer the guy's question. yes you can retorque the head bolts by just taking the valve cover off. I don't think you will need to retorque the head bolts if you were going to use the stock ones. check this post it might help
