"David S, I have checked the nut tightness and they are still at 20 ft/lb however is it meant to be 25 ft/lb?"
Mark,
I don't think the torque is too critical, so long as the nuts are tight. Certainly no more than 25 ft/lbs. I note that the 'Red Book' (Woodrow) recommends 18 ft/lbs. So would assume that 20 is OK. As I said in my previous post, if the engine ticks over evenly, and the compressions feel about even, then I wouldn't worry unduly. The car will soon tell you if it isn't happy.
Regards,
David.
