Re: [ST] copper grease and torque settings

[" Kevin Dicks" <rawsonboy@xxxxxxxxx>]

anti-seize, while a good idea for dis-similar metals especially, effectively
acts as a lubricant so the appropriate torque settings need to be reduced.

YMMV.

I've been told that the torque should be measured with anti-sieze  
(your copper grease) on the threads.
