"Stay loose" is a byword of all LBCs. Tightening them up just
makes them, well, uptight. Too much tension in your LBC just
gives it high oil pressure, hypertension in the electrical system
and cylinder headaches. It'll wake up sore and grumpy and you'll
spend your weekends giving it carnuba rubdowns. Torque
specifications in particular are bad. If a bolt doesn't wiggle,
it's too tight. Doors should flap freely, there should be lots
of judder on takeoff, and all those buzzes and rattles just mean
it's happy.
