Default pulled head bolt

on the aft upper port side of my '75 2.7
What really pisses me off - i did the time carts on the stbd side - after the machine shop took forever and a day to do the port side...
and all this was done once - i just decided to re-do for perfection
dumby up....
I just went to do the 500 mile headbolt re-torque...
22 down - #23 pulled the time cert, or stripped the stud, or stripped the nut...
or whatever.... but it just kept turning.....
soooo.....
chances are it pulled the cert - I'd hate to think that some kid did his first job and walloed a nice hole in my cases - and that was why they took forever....
I'll know shortly
1st thought is putting the car up on evilbay...
that only lasted 1/10 second.....
I'm just not one to pass on problems..

Then reality slapped me in the face....

I had to do everything else a few times when I rebuilt the engine...
practice makes perfect and all that....
Why would i possibly think that pulling it all the way back out and down - one more time - wasn't in the cards?
Just think - pretty soon I'll have learned what I'm doing
