Is it possible that I need to do some more torqueing to yielding to get my head gasket to set properly? how about a couple brief heat cycles to allow the sealing surface of the gasket to flow? I've posted a couple other specific posts related to this project but it sort of seems that these longer posts lose interest with the masses. Thanks for some valuable input so far. I've run the motor less than 5 minutes FWIW.
No, if your torqued properly - 30 NM, then 90 degrees and then another 90 degrees..you don't need to torque again.

A coolant leak from back of engine is rare. Where exactly is it coming from? Passenger or Driver's side?
