npk, retightening head bolts on an engine with an old compressed head gasket using the 55nm, +90, +90 method is likely to cause problems such as stripping the threads in the head. I would talk to an indie, a tech at your local MB dealer, or possibly an engine rebuilder before proceeding with any head bolt retightening.
