Hmm, correct torque setting would be nicer.

Good, thought i might have been missing one!
Ultimate rust cure for your moggy....paint it brown, at least that way you dont notice the rust as much!!

No need to get excited about torque on these screws and bolts- just 'snug' them up! I used to just put half of them in - and only the top bolt on the starter. Made for faster engine changes !

And increased the need for them too, I'd imagine... ;)

Not at all - never loosened off in service. It was the thrashing the poor wee 948 got that ensured regular changes were required. Two broken cranks - until I fitted a crankshaft damper from a Morris 1100.
