Hit 500 injector swaps without a single comebac

Started keeping a log on my phone back in 2021 after a bad 6.0 job in Tulsa, and this week I crossed 500 injector installs with zero returns. Getting the torque spec and cleaning the bore right makes all the difference. Anyone else track numbers like this or am I just weird about it?

Have you ever had one of those jobs where you're twenty minutes in and the bore's got that old crusty carbon ring that just won't budge no matter how much you scrape at it? I started keeping a similar log after a 6.4 job in 2019 taught me the hard way that a 15-minute shortcut on cleaning costs you a whole Saturday later. What really saved my numbers was getting religious about the torque sequence, like doing the three-pass pattern every single time even when the bolt feels tight enough. Also started using a bore brush with a cordless drill to hit that fuel return hole, which cut my comebacks way down. You're not weird for tracking it, man, that's how you catch bad habits before they cost you.
