cause uve already added an extra 10nm torque to the bolt...so instead of takin it 30-120 u will take it 40-110...hopefully it will end up around the same tension

So the AU 1s r meant to be tighter than the non AU ones? Cos i was thinkin that since I did it to 40 then maybe another 90 would b wat i needed, but i will try 100 degrees. Thanks
