Torqing and Anti-Seize



Anti-seize actually gets helps you get accurate torque, because
of the lubrication properties (as per John L.)

Bolts are actually stretched when tight.  That's why really
high-torque applications, like cyl. head. bolts, cannot be
re-used.

The torque setting corresponds to the stretch desired by the
designer of the assembly.  Any friction simply throws this off.

If you don't believe me, look at a "standard torque" chart.
The torq settings are listed by bolt size and TPI.  No mention
of length.  If friction was considered, then length would also
have to figure into it.
