My close friend and Iron Bottom co driver Mark always said the way to torque
bolts was to tighten them until they broke and then to back off a half a
turn. Worked every time.
Happy 4th everyone.

Chris,
What do you mean by overcoming the residual torque? Is that loosening the
bolt a bit, or a lot, and then retightening right up to the spec? Doing
this one bolt at a time right?
thanks,
