Thank's for the detailed report & follow-up info - very useful!
On some engines (with pushrods, e.g. my old air-cooled volkswagen, and some motorcycles) the head torque affects the valve clearance, so it's important to torque the head before adjusting the valves. But that's NOT the case with the Savage (thank god - what a pain).
Enjoy the ride!
