I torqued the head yesterday to a new gasket, and went back this morning to recheck the torque. But, I set my wrench 25 lbs too much. As I was pulling the center stud, I thought something was wrong, and found my problem. The wrench didn't click however. So I'm assuming I torqued it up to about 20lbs over. I immediately let off on the torque a bit, checked the book and found I could go up to 135lbs from the 125 I had on all the other bolts. I then pulled them all to 135lbs, and the one I messed up on appeared to spin just a little short of when I overtorqued it.
Is this bad??
