Appreciation post: guy running the boiler at the paper mill in Green Bay told me to stop over-torquing my handhole bolts
He pulled the torque wrench off my hands and showed me his gauge reading at 60 ft-lbs instead of my usual 90, and my gaskets have lasted three turnarounds since, so now I'm wondering if anyone else was taught to crank them down hard as a habit.

Cranking hard is how I was taught too, so maybe we both got bad advice.
