More than likely it will start...but the heat and pressure from running it with incorrect torque could warp or crack the head...

This time I agree with eferrell. When you torque the head bolts, there is a definite sequence, and step torquing. first round all the bolts are torqued at a low torque, with each round getting tighter until you are done. I have actually seen a neighbor kid tighten the rocker arms as if they were head bolts. Another shade tree mechanic bites the dust. He was actually bending the push-rods and the lifters had nowhere to go. It too wouldn't start. But he made many mistakes that cost him plenty. Food for thought.

It is possible that it will start, but it is also possible that the engine will be locked up due to uneven torque and the cylinders being warped.
The first demonstration I saw was on a 235 Chevy 6 cylinder engine. One individual at the seminar never torqued cylinder head bolts. The man putting on the seminar had him turn the engine by hand and then tighten 3 head bolts the way he always tightened them. Afterwards the engine could not be turned by hand due to cylinder distortion.
Even if the engine does not lock up the distortion will cause the rings and pistons to wear unevenly if the bolts are too tight. If they are too loose, the head gasket will not seal very good.
Bottom line: What we are saying to you is always use a torque wrench!

It will start, but it will leak after a short time. The heads will warp from heat and engine tourqe. Tourqing to spec and pattern is designed to make sure the load is evenly spaced to prevent warping.

Yes. When you torque the heads you are actually strecthing the bolts. Very important to do correctly.

Valves adjusted too tight.....distributor one hundred eighty out......firing order incorrect..... be particular the valves are adjusted ideal, then carry #a million as a lot as tdc on the compression stroke and be conscious the position your plug wires are on the problem of the rotor. also word the rotation of the rotor, and be particular the wires save on with it. think ofyou've got used tdc on the exhaust stroke, no longer the compression, that could particular make it do what you describe. sturdy success!

Yes.
Be best to tq heads and save yourself some problems later.

That all depends, is everything else in proper working order?

It will probably start, but it won't be happy while running.

should yes but why would you want to mess it up more than once
