Ok! We'll have to agree to disagree.
When you put your torque wrench on a nut & turn it til it clicks you can/will turn that nut, may be ever so slight, but do that every time you stop, especially if they are hot, you will be doing more harm than good. Plus if you haven't torqued the paint off yet you may need your wrench calibrated, 100-140+ ft lbs should scratch the paint.
So I'll do it my way, you do it yours, we'll both be happy!
