Sometimes a retightening can be needed Especially if after a rebuild.
And after standing still. Not overtighten so damage is done.
Some heat cycles Things change Oil gets on Seals .Gaskets gets flattened over time
At times there is a leak and it can stop for a while and then come again.
So I usually wait until I change seals. ,,yes it can drip a little .But still nothing like
old USA or Brit Bikes.
I Use Permatex which the Folks here dont like . ..Not to much
My defence is that worn not flat surfaces. Maybe not perfectly clean either .Are better off with some Chemical
I know it is not perfect and mistakes happen. But it works rather well .I have tried hold back on it
But I end up doing it all over again feeling like a fool.
Back in the day no one had a Torque Wrench
