is it possible that when you use different extentions or deepwall to regular it could cause the bolts to be torqued with enough difference to cause a leak in the head/ intake gaskets?

I don't believe so. only if you are using swivel extension.
just go slow keep firm pressue straight down on the socket end. and try to keep the prossure on the other end nice and horizontal.
