Re: Made a big mistake, how bad is it

As long as you have checked the head from corner to corner in an X patern and ran the feeler gauge all the way accross the distance of the head and you did not have more than the allowed clearance then you should be fine. I would suggest new head bolts though because they stretch every time you torque then down and the torque wrench will not account for this and they will become weaker every time you torque them. Get new ones they are not that much money for added security.
