DAE torque every bolt now after a costly mistake?

I skipped torque specs on small bolts for years to save time. Then an over-tightened bolt cracked a cylinder head on a Duramax rebuild. Now I torque EVERY bolt, no matter how small. My comeback jobs dropped like a rock. Guys who skip this are playing with fire. That little extra care saves BIG headaches down the road. Just do it.
