Rob,

I flew for ~ 4 months in primer = (including a trip to Oshkosh) and didn’t have a significant change in clearance for my skybolt = cowl fasteners. The adjustment step size, while only ½ turn of the = threaded insert, is rather coarse. The spring load under the screw takes up the = fine adjustment. I just made sure the springs weren’t completely = bottomed out when I did the initial adjustment. Plus, if you find any too tight = afterwards a dental pick can pull back th elocking collar and you can loosen the = insert one step.
