can head bolts be "tightened" mid-use?

I was just looking at my 9a sitting in my garage and it got pretty cruddy over 1.5 years it was in my car. I have a sneaking suspicion part of that crud came from the head gasket area. I used the ABA gasket and it ran great when I took it out so I don't think I blew anything, but I was wondering if there was any way I could "adjust" the headbolts to make sure. Maybe just to make sure they're on torque or even maybe give 'em a hair tighter??  Any thoughts?

TIA, JT
