This quite often goes unnoticed if proper torque is achieved. The problem comes when you try to remove the nut many years down the road. With reduced wrench engagement, corrosion and the electrolysis caused by dissimilar metals removing the nut becomes near impossible.
That said, shorter (within reason) is better than longer.

Hmm, this is a conundrum, what to do? I'm guessing it's gonna be 4 to 6 hours at least because of the heating required. That's if I don't remove the p/c's - just gently lift them away from the case and get the torch in there. Then I have to clean out the old loctite, etc..
Henry, would you say the .15mm is enough to cause the issue you address above. If so, I really need to fix this.
