I keep seeing guys skip the final torque on injector hold-down clamps
Had a 6.7 Powerstroke come back with a rough idle after a shop down the road did injectors, and sure enough two clamps were just past finger tight. That extra 18 ft-lbs matters for the crush washer seal. Anyone else run into shops getting lazy with this step?

Man, that reminds me of the time I found a loose oil filter housing on a 6.4. Just rattling around, someone clearly forgot the last quarter turn.

I've seen that happen too, @jason524, but usually it's a stripped thread, not someone forgetting.
