My apprentice in Phoenix tried to skip the torque sequence on a Duramax head gasket last month.
He argued it was fine to just 'go by feel' because he'd done it on a small block Chevy, so now we're pulling the whole thing apart again to check for warping, and has anyone else had to drill this into a new guy's head?

Did he learn his lesson, or is he still buying beers for @averymartin and the crew?

Did he at least buy the beers for the redo?

Honestly, the beer tab is getting bigger than the original job cost. Pretty sure I'm just funding Avery's home bar at this point. Had to grab a couple cases to even get them to show up for the fix. Lesson learned, but my wallet is still crying about it.
