Right-o! Be it a 4-40 bolt holding on a bit of trim, a 1/4 inch bolt
helping to hold the roof to the roof sides, a 5/8ths bolt holding down a
cylinder head or a funny looking nut trying to keep the total power
output from your engine from moving a gear out of place. Tight is tight.
Finger tight? short wrench tight? breaker bar tight?
Who cares about the elasticity of fittings?
Oh well, if it works for you and you are happy with the results. That is
all that really matters. Your satisfaction in the methods you use.
Sorry, this is once again just the ranting of an old lady with a torque
wrench fetish.
