If you don’t follow proper torque tightening techniques, you risk under or over-tightening. If your torque pattern doesn’t apply load evenly through the process, you will have poor sealing, which can result in leaking flanges.

What happens if head bolts are not torqued properly?

Uneven loading created by unevenly tightened head bolts can distort the head. Over a period of time, this may cause the head to take a permanent set. So any head that has not been properly torqued should be checked for flatness prior to installing a new head gasket.
