Hi to all! I would agree, that I would rather have just snug or tight, then super tight!!! But, I look for consistency and repeatability in every assembly.... Like I said, in just a couple of degrees of rotation, super tight is here!!! But, I'm sure 30 ft. pounds would be acceptable....it just seems better to me at "totally tight & right!" I truly believe at just a few thousands past hand tight, it's on forever.... We still have the ever present index and headspace to consider.. so we need to pay some attention to when all three occur in the proper proportions...
... best to all, til...lat'r....GT...
