Hi Cyrille,
On the Retorque of the head, loosening a 1/4 to 1/2 turn is more than
adequate. Then torque to the right amount for your engine. Do this in the
correct sequence.
My water heated intake manifold, I've always had the water hooked up. Have
no idea if it's better or worse than unhooked as I never tried it that way.
Later, Pa
