Last year, I fitted my X-heads exactly as it said in the instructions. They fitted exactly as the instructions suggested they would. No issue with weak bolts, no trouble with torque settings. Was there an early production problem perhaps?
I was watching a video recently though, where the protagonist explained that the correct torque was essential for the bolts in this part of the project, so he would ensure that he gave them the right setting on the wrench and then "just a little more to snug them up". I wonder how many others think along those lines? Certainly a local tyre fitter did - no idea what I was on about when I asked him not to continue tightening once his torque wrench clicked.
