Took me 8 years to realize I was torquing head bolts wet instead of dry

Swapped a timing chain on a 5.4 Triton last month and the new gasket kit actually came with a torque chart that showed dry spec vs oiled spec, and that's when i finally got why three of my previous builds had that slow coolant weep months later anyone else ever get bit by that?

Man, that's brutal. I bet that was a frustrating lesson to learn.

Learning the hard way sticks with you though.
