    I'd split the difference & call it good if it was on my MINI.

    Found a TIS doc for installing the JCW wheel. It agrees with the first (higher) value, which is what I decided to use when I re-torqued it. I'll see if I can post it here...

    I didn't think you could install it off center. When I swapped mine it had a keyed slot at the tdc.
