Could someone who knows a spec or rule-of-thumb on how tight to tighten the set screws for the prop strut bushings please respond?

I tightened them at the end of last season & the bushings were "singing" at low RPMs. I know they need to be looser but I don't want them to fall out so is there a torque spec that anyone knows of?

thanks, -Jed

about a 1/4 to a 1/3 of a turn after it touches. the bushings are a press fit so the screw is to keep it from spinning more than falling out
