lol...im with plum, snug and a little smooch..."like your kissing your sister, just a smooch"

 

[eucharistos]

snug plus a bit

googled "snug" and "plus a bit".... see wiki....

wiki says

snug=approx 25 ft/lbs

plus a bit=approx 5 ft/lbs

therefore by the transitive property

Gutentight = snug plus a bit = approx 30 ft/lbs = Viper Service Manuals say "25 ft-lbs" + kissing your sister
