overtorque a spark plug and its an afternoon of bloody knuckles removing it. overtorque an aluminum wheel causing hairline cracks that grow at 130 mph and you spend the next few weeks in recovery room at your local hospital.
do you see guys at the track checking ht e torque of their spakplugs or their wheels? theres a reason we check them
