On a side note - what is the torque value when you use antisieze? It's my
understanding that you use a lower torque value when using antisieze since
it is so slippery? Using standard torque values will result in over
tightening the nut. I had some head bolts fail/break on a two cycle engine
once when I torqued to recommended torque using antisieze. I have heard that
the torque value can be in the neighborhood of 80% recommended torque. Is
this true?
