Realized I was torquing head bolts dry for 8 years
Was helping a buddy swap a head gasket on his 5.9 Cummins. He pulls out a little bottle of ARP assembly lube. I'm like what's that for. He just stared at me. Turns out I've been getting inconsistent torque readings this whole time. Fought with stretched bolts and blown gaskets more times than I can count. Has anyone else had one of those moments where a simple step made everything click?

Wait, you're not supposed to just crank 'em dry and hope for the best?
