Had an older mechanic call me out last week for not using a torque wrench on injectors

He said I was relying too much on 'feel' and showed me three cracked injector bodies he pulled that week from guys like me. Makes me wonder how many of my past jobs might have issues down the road. Anyone else ever get humbled by a seasoned guy like that?

Experience is the best teacher, ain't it?

Books and mentors can save you a lot of pain though... sometimes learning from someone else's mistakes is just smarter.

Same here, falling on my face taught me more than any book ever did.
