I'm seeing a lot of guys skip the torque sequence on head gaskets lately

Watched a tech in our Denver shop just go in a circle, and that engine was back for a coolant leak within a month. What's the most important step you think people rush through?

Respectfully disagree with @the_julia. Torque sequence matters but clean threads are the real battle.

Just go in a circle, what could go wrong? It's like they're trying to win a prize for the fastest comeback visit.

Remember my friend who tried that circle thing? He ended up with a flat tire and a bent rim on a curb, @schmidt.amy. The tow truck driver just shook his head and said he sees it all the time. Cost him like four hundred bucks and a whole Saturday.
