Was looking for a place to ground something in the engine bay and I removed a headbolt not thinking... Needless to say I just want to make sure this doesnt cause any problems and wanted some opinions. Should I just retorque the headbolt back into the block to stock specs? What is the torque spec I should torque the headbolt down to if I just do stock specs?
As far as I know all other headbolts have never been touched since they were put in at the factory.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks in advance.

Well as for right now, I believe stock specs are 77ft/lbs plus a 90 which would make it about 100ft/lbs. I torqued the bolt down to 100 and called it a day, unless anybody has any wiser advice on the matter.

Nah, probably be just fine, if you had taken several out I might feel differently.

Make sure not to use it for your ground, it probably won't hold torque with soft metal under the bolt.
