u lubed the bolts????
um..............you DON"T lube the threads on the head bolts.
DON"T, DON"T, DON"T, DON"T,DON"T, DON"T, DON"T, DON"T,DON"T, DON"T, DON"T, DON"T,DON"T, DON"T, DON"T, DON"T.

The torque ratings are given for dry clean threads.
Lubing the thread on the bolt means that u will put exess stress into the bolt.
The ratings are given for dry bolts, because, as u can imagine, every lube will have different coefficients of friction and thus, the stress induced in the bolts would vary. (from car to car)
