why would you wanna tighten the bolts on the motor? pull it apart, port, and rebuild it if you are really that bored. tightening the engine wont help much unless it has somehow gone out of stock torque specs (about 90ftlbs i think?).

Yes, they are suppose to be 23-27 ft-lbs. I wouldn't worry about them. They were probably torqued just fine to start with.
