Getting the Wheeling Fever

I know the proper torque on 22r head bolts is 58 ftlbs, but I have also seen publications that say 62. Would that be a bad idea to torque them a little more? I mean I can't even count the number of 22r's I've seen with blown headgaskets lately. I realize they are not that hard to work on, but a blown headgasket in the middle of a snowstorm when you are trying to go duck hunting sucks!
