    Tighten until you hear the crack, then back it off a quarter turn.

      Nah mate, some torque specs are so low that you’ll strip it out before you hear such a thing.

      Like the water pump bolts on my brother’s Subaru. 7 ft/lbs was the torque spec. Now with the new bolts I had to put in there after having to drill and tap the block it’s at the correct torque spec. He cored all but 1 bolt out before I could stop him.
