Hi There -
You replied about the torque procedure and that made me wonder if it's appropriate to put anything on the threads - like oil or diesel fuel? In other applications there seems to be some controversy on doing so. Some say the torque value is distorted by lubricating the threads while others say the torque is more accurate when lubed. In a location like this it may be tough to keep the threads dry if that's the way to go.

Any thoughts?
