Here's a test to play with.  Take a 3/8 - 16 X 1" bolt, put 3 washers on it and then a nut.

Put some never seize on it and torque it to spec. (about 32 ft lbs) or what ever the chart says.  The bolt will fail before you get to the torque spec. Wheel bearing grease works well too !  Not trying to be a smart ass here. We just need to be careful/mindful of what we are trying to do.  Sometimes more is not better.......Bruce

Most torque readings are done dry (unless specifical lubrication is called for), are they not?  I was under the impression a lubricated nut/bolt normally used 10-15% less torque than the dry spec for that reason?
