Not a problem on that head bolt. Clean the threads and follow the torque sequence drawing and re-torque every bolt on the head. If you develop a head gasket leak later I'd be surprised.

If I remove one head bolt (#11), can I replace it at the proper torque setting or should I pull them all and replace them in order? _________________________________________________________________ Check out Election 2004 for up-to-date election news, plus voter tools and more! http://special.msn.com/msn/election2004.armx --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
