I believe the spec is 12ft/lb or something along those lines which with the right tool it lets you do it. The silicone was applied on the threads like loctite, not quite locktite but should prevent any backing off from vibration. So even if the bolts didnt take the torque the silicone will not let them vibrate loose. I will be switching to allen bolts for when I open it again. VTC gears as not so complicated either, unless there's visual evidence theyre internally damaged they work just fine. The tone ring shifting a bit is an uncontrollable outcome that can happen to anyone and it would please me if this was the issue (means my previous job held) |
