There is a sequence for torqueing down the head.

1. Torque to 44 ft. lbs.

2. Loosen 1/2 turn.

3. Torque to 44 ft. lbs. again.

4. Tighten 1/4 turn from step 3.

5. Tighten 1/4 turn from step 4.

Follow sequence when torquing down the head. If you don't know what it is. Start in the middle and torque it down in a criss cross fashion towards the outside.
