Everything he is telling you should ring big alarm bells. If he had the head gasket done on it, and it was over skimmed, it will be running a higher compression that what it should be. Which (im assuming you have a standard ecu) on a standard ecu is bad because that could lead to det because the timing hasnt been adjusted to compensate for this, which can lead to no more piston. I would be careful and be tempted to find someone with det headphone set and drive it around on a cold morning giving it some beans to make sure it isnt detonating.
2ndly, if he thinks the head bolts need to be re-torqued, it means they weren't tightened to the correct torque in the first place, which means who ever put it back together should be shot on the spot, no questions asked. And if it does actually need torquing up i would be putting my money on that it has done a head gasket again, or if not chances are very high that it will.

my temp needle started playing seesaw today... ...the cars got no thermostat and the water that we fill in the water tank always ends up in the overflow,radiator and hoses are fine,one guy said check the high pressure hose,anyone on here know what it might be,sorry about the novel :-X
If your car doesnt have a thermostat but the temp needle is moving drastically, what do you mean ?
If it was me this is the things i would check.
Drive down the road, when it gets hot, put the heater in the car on hot and turn the fans to full.
If the temperature gets signifigantly better, your radiator is not cooling properly and your heater is doing the radiators job for you.
In which case check radiator for blockages, and check if the fans are working properly. Once you have done that, and if that doesnt fix the problem, check the hoses for leaks etc.
Still no luck? with what information you have previously given i would be inclined to say you have a high chance you will need to do the head gasket again.
My advice would be take it into someone who knows what they are doing as with what you have said it could be a plethora of things that are fu*kt, and many of them will be very hard to identify if you dont know what to look for.
