You can say that again Dan. Just installed the helicoil and put the exhaust manifold on.
Now it's classroom time! I borrowed a friends tech school book and was browsing the bolt torque section and found this chart. It showed the correct torque value modification due to lubricant on the threads. I found this interesting. I used copper anti-seize on the perfectly clean brand new studs. On this chart it says with anti seize on the threads to use a 40% reduction in torque (OEM specified torque). I did the math and for 29 ft/lbs thats 17.4 ft/lbs (good thing my digital torque wrench goes to tenths of a foot pound). But I didn't feel comfortable torquing at such a low value so I only did a 15% reduction this time which is 24.65 ft/lbs but I just did 24 ft/lbs (actually 23.6 ft.lbs). Yeah I like to get technical when It comes to torqueing shit.
