"and used carberator cleaner to clean oil off of bolts and cleaned inside of bolt holes and then torked bolts in three steps."

I completely agree with the three steps for taking down stuff... both sheetmetal and heads and such...

The correct way to clean a bolt hole so that this method is actually doing what you are hoping it will do... is to run a tap into the hole... and then use a cleaner in it... even a tiny burr on a thread greatly changes the torque readings and thus negates lots of good work....
