It is in the updated work instructions, I don't believe it was in the early documents.
Explains the failure rate tapering off, as well as increased experience and awareness of the problem.
As a tech, when you're handed a large flat rate job, especially the first time, the goal is to break even. You never want to lose money. Down the road you know you'll beat the time and life will be good.
Those first few times are tough, especially if you're watching the clock. 7 out of 12 hours in and you haven't got the engine timed, shit, hurry up. 11 out of 12, exhaust studs won't line up, screw it run them on.
3 or 4 jobs in you feel better about it, know what tools to grab, only really have to look up torque specs, etc etc etc. It all comes with experience.
