Default Hey guys need some help here

My pass. side head was tourqed down for like an hour using new stock bolts. I never fired the motor up. Are the new bolts trash? I'm not really woried about the $20 for new bolts just the downtime waiting for them(no local parts stores havet hem) . I'm guessing the head gasket should be ok it looked fine. its a stock replacement from Napa. Thanks for any info you can give.

I don't think a TTY, (ie. stock bolt), can be retorqued. Once it's stretched, it's stretched. Probably not the answer you want to hear. Did you check with a local dealer? Sucks waiting for parts...
