Bingo! This is the other big truth that somebody pointed out to me back when I fumbled with the YZ torque spec. It makes total sense.
Thanks.

The note on the chart to loctite the studs on re-assembly could be a whole other discussion. But it makes enough sense to me for next time. It would be bad to have the studs loosen instead of the nut on those ones in the PV cover. Seems like the studs will grab pretty well in the alumninum anyway...
