Porsche are the experts ... there are no other.

BTW, there’s a major difference between recommendation and specification ... Porsche specifies.

I’d really think these screws stretch when torqued to specification. In many applications this is indeed considered a one-time event.

Bolts are for putting nuts on ... when you don’t, it’s a screw.
