14 lb. ft. does seem low for an 8mm, but it's going into wicked soft
aluminum.  After I got tired of stopping to put in Helicoils I started
paying closer attention to the torques.  However, those bolts are M10, not
M8 -- and 33 lb ft is consistent with the other M10s on the motor.  Maybe
the aircooleds used M8s?
