May have overtorqued heads

Is 75 ft/lbs too much for the final torque of arp head bolts? I used the arp assembly lube and thread sealer. Also I got slightly out of sequence on the final torquing. I went from torquing bolt number 9 to bolt number 14, 11, 12, 13, then I realized that I had already torqued bolt fourteen and I forgot to torque number 10. So, I went back and torqued number 10 and finished the rest of the bolts in order. Bolts 10 and 14 are very close together. Anything to worry about?

Thanks,
Sean

I just did mine last week and ARP told me to use 70 ft-lbs. You should be fine with 75. I agree, don't worry about the mistake in the order. Shouldn't be a problem.
