Over Torqued Head Bolts?


If the bolts are put in dry and they are meant to be lubed you will start to hit yeaild and start stretchign the bolt long before it was meant to and not have a proper torque load on the bolts.
Sorry, that is a false statement. You will actually get less tension on a dry bolt at a specific torque compared to it being lubed with oil. That could result in the bolt not reaching the stretch point when torquing a dry bolt. Some type of lube is always a good idea when torquing fasteners. This reduces any tendency to gall as well as improving clamp up consistency. APR recommends their moly assembly lube for their head and rod fasteners. Following their directions, the final torque applied is even lower than what is used with oil because moly lube has a lower coefficient of friction at high loads.
