head bolts stripped

[johnjay28]

head bolts stripped on 2.3 grand am. i was able to re tap from a 5/16 bolt to a 3/8 bolt. present torque value is 26 ft. lbs with the 5/16 bolt. my question is, will the torque value stay the same. if not where can i find out what it should it be. thanks, john

Torque stays the same you dont want to overcrush the gasket
