Read through the ‘Torque: lube or no lube’ thread. By the end it seemed to me nobody has The Answer.
It is time for me to torque down a head and I want to know “If I use thread lube, do I reduce torque setting
and if so by how much?”
Using ARP paste in my case so I asked ARP. Got back the cryptic answer which sort of was yes but use what
the vendor of the hardware recommends. So basically they kicked the can down the road and here I am
with torque wrench at the ready and thumb up me arse…
