I allways wonder why its set so low. My tourqe wrench doesnt even go that low. The only reason I can think is that they are very small bolts and if you tighten too much they will snap, but then again they are securing quite a vital part of the engine on

Yeah I did think it was a very low number for what they're doing I've not seen these bolts myself but the only assumption I can give is that they're small bolts and will shear if done much higher than that.

8Nm probably wouldn't be hard by hand tbf
