I would be interested in this as well.  Not that I replaced the gasket, but
since I'm going to do a valve adjustment, I figured I would re-torque the
head first.  I assume it would be prudent to re-torque the head when doing a
valve adjustment, as I know it is standard practice on MG's?

There's been some discussion recently regarding re-torqueing the head after
installing a new gasket and the car is warmed up.  Is this a recommended
practice?
