I would think that IF the adjuster was over tightend that the threads would strip before they broke, so, assuming a couple of things, the heat treat was done to the entire batch, not individualy, all the adjusters might have issues related to heat treatment. I would destruct one adjuster intentionaly checking the torque to do so, and checking to see if threads strip or if they snap off. There are a couple of bucks invested with that engine so I would be conservetive, RWJ |
