As far as the fuel pump bolt I can see that if its loose at idle it would not squeal maybe, under acceleration the force might cause it but, why only under load?
As far as the head bolts, (cheap...I know I know) but should I reseal the threads (Teflon or fuel, oil, coolant proof sealant) in order or buy new bolts and replace them one buy one in order at the proper specs.
also with the 1094 felpro head gaskets should the torque be increased?
I might have just screwed the pooch, it was my first rebuild if that helps!

Unless you are working on something exotic that ive never seen, there's no reason to not finish torquing a head in one sit down. You should have put oil on just the threads of the bolt to insure proper/even torque. If you use anything else you have already made a mistake. Check for bearing noise
