hello
im in the process of doing a head gasket job on my 2.3L ranger, and i made a rookie mistake and misread the directions, and ended up over torquing the head bolts. i accept the fact that i made a mistake, but i curious as to what i can do next. do i replace the new bolts with another set and install a new gasket as well? if i have to replace the gasket and bolts, i rather do it now then roll the dice and have leaks later on and have to pull it all apart again. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys!
