I take the time to find/mark the outside foil on the new poly caps I install. Yes, I know that in most cases it won't make a difference...because up until about 6 years ago, I didn't bother to do that. However, I ran into a couple sets that it DID matter, and one took a heck of a time to find and correct the problem.
In reality...does it take much time to do this? It maybe adds a few minutes to every set restoration. But is that a lot when looking at all the extra procedures and rebuilds we do to the average chassis during a full restoration? No.
