Update: I was overtorquing injector hold-down bolts for years
A tech from the Detroit Diesel training session pointed out I was using the wrong torque sequence, which explained the recurring blow-by on my 6.7 Powerstroke rebuilds. He showed me the factory spec sheet that lists a specific criss-cross pattern I'd missed. What's the one torque procedure you had to unlearn?

Heard a similar story about head bolts on old small blocks. The factory manual sequence is way different than what most guys do in their garage.

Yeah @charles_green, the factory sequence for a 350 is like a star pattern from the center out. What's the wrong way most people do it that causes problems?
