I had them too tight and it added stress to the few threads that were holding the plugs in. so be careful not to over torque them.
Yes. I understand that to be true. Having them too tight adds stress to the 5 or 6 threads holding them in. Add the expansion/contraction of the aluminum on over torqued plugs and you have a potential problem.
