Thank you, Jim.  So to loosen and re-torque these head studs I just lock
two nuts together, right?  Is the proper torque for the head studs in the
Bentley?  I have case savers installed.

The leak I am referring to is the apparent leak indicated on the cylinder
heads on cylinders 2 and 4 where the cylinders meet the heads.
I never noticed any dripping of oil (my engine never dripped even a drop).
Could this be caused by some excessive over-heating in the moments after I
noticed the considerable drop in performance?
Assuming the cylinders were lapped to the head when my engine builder put
this together, should I re-lap cylinders 2 and 4 to the head?
