I just did a chain guide overhaul and half the bolts that hold the chain covers on had signs of stretch from over torque. They are spec'd to 10 N-m (6.7 ft·lb) which is snug not very tight. Trying to guess vs use an actual torque wrench will end up with very uneven fit and wondering why it's leaking later.

I have a feeling I may have over snugged some faulty connections previously and maybe made the condition worse.

Likely one of the compression settings is the culprit. Perhaps if I find it i can snip it and install a T with zip ties? I will start on the driver side since it's worse. Or is it best to run new line? Where would I source that? Any suggestions?
