Default effects of sealant on torque specs

my heads are cnc'd through the rocker bosses so i will have to use sealer on them. do you guys change your torque specs when adding sealer to the bolt or not worry about it?

I don't assemble engines for a living but I don't change the torque specs. If you can run the bolt in with your fingers or very light (turning) load then it is having virtually no effect on your torque values.
