I tightened everything on the pan and left them overnight. About a week later, I just checked tightness and maybe 2 or 3 nuts snugged up a slight bit........then leave them alone unless something seeps.
But if I check them and they are all loose 1/8 of a turn, then I have to tighten them back to spec torque, right? That is what is happening. I checked the torque 4-5 times and each time they had loosened. I fear that if I just leave them I will develop leaks.
