Sort of - not exactly a third of a turn until tight but I'd say about four alternate tightenings each side until it full torque... Maybe I should use your method on the next one :whistle:

Your all good mate, I should have said one third of the total torque each time. If your pulling the down to 100 ft-lb, go hand tight, 30 ft-lb, 60 ft-lb, 90 ft-lb and then the final tweak to the 100. With each round, start in the middle and work out, tightening the opposite bolt each time.
