^ ...at least probably not enough.

On the h22, that bolt is to be torqued at 159 ft lbs.

it needs to be trqued to spec dude.

Looks like I was looking at the H23 spec!

That mistake on my part could NOT have happened at a better time... My engine is in my garage, and I literally tightened that bolt no more than 2 days ago.

I'm gonna go and torque it properly now so I don't end up obliterating my engine!
