  • Question for the pros

    In the case of torque specifications, specifically for head bolts, are the specs for situations where the bolt and nut are dry or for lubricated with something like anti seize?

    I used a thread lube / sealer made for this purpose. Auto shops and auto machine shops sell it. It is more important that the threads be clean. If you have a tap and die set run the correct size die down the threads to clean them real nice. Then apply the thread sealant and do the torquing.
