Head bolt ?

Putting my SBC together and realize that I may or may not have made a mistake. Looking for input to decide if I should redo. Anyways, bolted my vortec EQ heads to the block using a felpro composition gasket and the GM products head bolts (have sealant already one them). For some crazy reason, perhaps it was a long day and I wasn't thinking, I dipped the threads in oil before inserting them into their holes. In my mind I was thinking this would provide a better torque reading then I realized they already have sealant on them. Did I mess up the sealant on the threads? Also, I think that oil most likely dripped and spread between the heads and the gasket or block and gasket.

Is this okay or should I remove the heads and get new gaskets, bolts and redo? Thanks!
