If the head gasket is not set correctly/ smushed weird than more torquing isn't going to help.

Get some copper wire. Ring that bitch.

It is, going beyond the spec for the bolt is going to suck once thermal expansion happens.

Not to mention you have the possibility of warping the head if they don't budge.

Ring the block, if you're still pushing coolant somethings up with the gasket.
