I'm too old and scarred up to want to rest my elbows and forearms on a 185* engine...or even try to. Cold torque for the win here.

Crap. Reading this and I came to Wesley’s post on wet/dry torque and my radar went off.
Re ringed my injectors about 2k miles ago and when I reinstalled the inj’s and the bolts for the hold downs I knew/know dry/wet makes a difference.
Unfortunately I can NOT remember if I cleaned my hands after I abundantly lubed and seated the sticks.
Looks like I’ll be double checking here soon.
Seems the consensus is to torque them again after some mileage anyway? (Whether it be cold or hot torque)
