Not wanting to be pedantic, but I was taught never to do the final torque tightening "to spec" of nuts and bolts on engines until I had installed all of the bolts and nuts that held the particular part in question to the engine. For example, when you installed the flex plate to the crankshaft; the torque converter to the flex plate, and the transmission to the engine, you tightened each bolt to its final spec before installing all the other parts which held the particular piece in question to the engine. That risks having the part in question not sitting exactly parallel to the face of the engine part it is being bolted onto. I was taught that it was the better practice to install all bolts holding the particular piece in question and slightly tightening each bolt before you then tighten all the bolts down in the correct sequence to their final specs. That prevents (1) the flex plate from getting cocked on the crankshaft; (2) prevents the torque converter from getting slightly cocked on the flex plate; and (3) prevents the transmission from getting slightly cocked so it does not fit squarely against the rear face of the engine. It made me cringe as I watched you torque things down in the assembly video when you had not first installed all the bolts holding the piece in question, such as the numerous bolts holding the flex plate to the crankshaft and then the 6 bolts holding the torque converter to the flex plate. The purpose of putting all the bolts in first is to make sure you have the two pieces being joined sitting squarely up against each other before the bolts are tightened to their final specs.

Agree with what you are saying (I think), but confused as I don’t tighten anything in this video you commented on. The install video shows tightening all 8 bolts with an initial stage and then a final stage, which I think is what you are a proponent of
