[size=1em]Wet or dry 20Nm is still 20Nm, your torque wrench will still brake away at the setting you have dialled in, a shitty thread will detract from that.
You must of had nuts and bolts like that? You know that make your fingers sore just trying to run the nut up the length of the bolt against the mating surface, and in the end take forever slowly winding it down with a spanner cos it has gone as tight as a duck arse and wont shift.
The directional force on the nut or bolt is inline with the body/length or thread of the bolt, no torque should come into play before the nut/bolt head touches the surface that it is mating with. shit or rust is applying friction and stealing torque.
Torquing up a Nylock nut accurately is almost impossible because of that resistance caused by the nylon insert, although Nylocks are most often used in situations where you and not especially locking down hard onto a surface. IE: A brake or clutch lever pivot point.[/size]
