oily huh... heck. It was still rather oily down the bolt hole so maybe I'm ok. Anyway, There's a new engine in the works and I already have a replacement head gasket on hand, just in case I screwed it up seriously. This is the price I pay for choosing humanistic and biological sciences for my degrees.

Anyway, what I meant about the screwing up the torque gauge is that all the mechanics guides I've read warn about *never* using a torque wrench to break a bolt free. It's supposed to screw them up in some unspecified way. I imagine it would affect tension and reduce accurracy.

So.. the torque should be as listed in the Haynes manual?
