Yep...and the same holds true for those that use grease or oil, too. I was going to mention that, but wanted to first see if I could find the graph/chart that is somewhere on the web (maybe at BW?) listing approximations for the reduction in torque when lubricants are used.

Unfortunately, every solution often results in a new issue.
