Message	First of all I used search and couldn't find anything relating to this on this forum on any other z32 forums... Here's the deal, rebuilding a vg30dett and had all the head bolts torqued to 29ft lb then go to 90lb... and what do you know the the torque wrench is set on 110.. needless to say on of the head bolts is striped.. In sequence this would be #3 ... My thinking is there is a lot of stress on the head so this is probably a problem.. Should I re-tap the threads or will the other 7 bolts be ok? I don't want to half ass this but I know I will ruin the gaskets if i remove the head. Thoughts?
