I honestly think 100ft/ lbs is overkill , if you do the math you are torquing almost 30% more than what Porsche recommends ?
This is not a Formula One engine, just a little old 2.5 !
Yeah and maybe crack your first engine and retorque to 75.

We don't want our engines too loose either but too tight will deform and stress.

I'm going with 27-28 but factory is 24.3 so now I'm relying on their equivalent testing.. but it know 30 is okay so 28 will probably remain my number.
