I know a guy (no I will not say) who was checking his fuel pump on his BJ8
(guess which wheel he had to take off) and then forgot to completely tighten
the knock off (because he got distracted) and then remembered a couple of
days later. When he checked the knock off it was only about the same hand
tightness. Does not appear to be any damage to the splines, etc. I don't
think it would be a good idea to just let these tighten up on their own.
How tight should they be? What are Sharpie index marks?

I can verify properly oriented hubs will cause the knockoff to tighten in
the course of normal driving. I've been using Sharpie index marks every time
I remount the wheels and they tighten up every time.
In the several years since I got new hubs & wheels, never yet had one
loosen.
Read about it on this list several years ago.
