[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 440882, member: 25383"] a 1/4-28 screw is way over tightened (past it yield point) with anything much more than 10 ft. lb. Normally 50 to 60 in. lb. is about the max. Buy a can of Neversieze with Nickel (Donot use Loctite Antisieze!!), and lightly coat the threads with a small paint brush. Then torque the screws down to about 40 In. Lb. for starters. That 40 in. lb. is actually over tightening them, but it's a start. You probably will be able to get by with 30 in. lb. of torque as you can cut the torque value in half when using Neversieze compound. Another thing todo is to replace the screws after retorquing them a few times due to stretch (they will be grade five if they are black, and not as good if they are stainless steel). The best screws are from Premier, Karr, and Allen. Unbrako are right behind these; with the first two being the best you can buy. gary [/QUOTE]
