The car is together and runs great. But, I'm short some Nm on the plugs.
So, I'm assuming I'm a full 23Nm tight and 27 Nm would be fine. So literally I'm 4 Nm short of being tight enough. I'm also over 10% light.
Serious consequences beyond hearing some tapping in some thousands of miles and needing to re-tighten them then?

What's wrong with 23Nm I thought that was the spec?
