Tried a different torque sequence on a 6.7 Powerstroke head gasket
Always did the factory pattern, but a guy in a shop in Boise swore by a modified sequence he called the 'star from the center out'. Did it on a rebuild last month and the surface contact looked way more even with my straightedge. Anyone else mess with torque patterns on those engines?

A shop in Boise figured out a better way than Ford?

Had a similar experience on a 7.3. The manual sequence left a slight gap on the passenger side rear. Switched to a spiral pattern starting from the middle, working out in a circle. The dye check showed a much better seal. Sometimes the book isn't the final word.
