I’m with you, I used to reassemble powerheads at night when I was alone in the shop. I remember not being able to remember tightening one of the rods on a V6, needless to say, didn’t sleep a wink. Ripped the damn thing apart only to find I had torqued all of them….Boss was pissed at me of course…
What is the saying in carpentry, something like “measure several times so you will only have to cut once….”
