The head bolts in that year engine are tork to yeld. You cant retork you must replacechances are you didnt hurt anything. Ihave run 302s untill they got so hot they quit running let them cool addded water and took off and ran them for years later. Chevys are different their castings are lighter and more prone to warpage.

Pick up a cheap Ford car manual, much better see what it is then to explain it.
