Over tightened end caps
#25
Thank you Alan and Bob for your explanations. In my life time I don’t expect to have to mess with the big ends on my seven again. (Fingers crossed). If I do I will lighten without the aid of a torque wrench as I have always done. But then again my engine is not a competition engine and it is set up more or less as it left the factory.
To add something a little more humerus I am more confident tightening big end bolts than wheel nuts. Some years ago I lost a wheel and my family will never let me forget. This tends to result in over tightening of said nuts.

John Mason.
Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.
