Ummm - CDC had a note in their big disk drive manuals - tighten screw
till just before it strips and then back off 1/4 turn. (Referring to the
head screws...)

Clay,
Your advise: "The trick is to tighten them up
until just before they break and then stop." is quite similar to the rule of
thumb we aircraft mechanics use for machine screws and bolts: "Tighten until
they strip, then back off one-quarter"
