Default Spark Plug Cover Nuts (for B series engine)

Just noticed it today when I was taking off the spark plug cover, 2 out of 4 nuts that were used to secure the spark plug cover felt so tight to remove. Then I realised it was the nuts that were located right underneath the spark plug cover that were pushing against the spark plug cover upwards. My question is, what is causing the nuts to unscrew by itself? Do I just tighten the nuts according to the spec? Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yep, I was scared to crack my cf insert so I would go just a tad more than hand tight. Had to check them all the time because of vibration.

Before you torque them down, use a very small amount of the RED transmission gasket seal. Not enough to OOZE out. If you need to remove the nuts later, they will still be there to remove.
