I think it should be mentioned that Copper Grease messes with torque settings as well, although using engine oil keeps torque settings very accurate, but it will obviously depend on what job the nut/bolt is doing for this to be taken into consideration.

Not really mate no. As mentioned threads don't provide seals any grease or oil will be either pushed out or sit in the free space in the threads.  The only time it's possible is when the bolt is going into a blind hole, but its very unusual as the grease/oil will escape past the threads. 

That's why you can use thread lock

It's why you can get these coated bleed nipples, in an attempt to seal them so you can pump the lever with the nipple open and theoretically not draw air in past the threads.  They don't work after the first go, if then I would recommend them.

Like my rear caliper pad pin you mean?   :'(


I think it's something daft like 10Nm, but i thought i'd do the right thing that day and use the torque wrench, with a tiny dot of Copper Grease on the thread.
Won't be doing that again.  :groan
