We searched both the official shop manual, and the Haynes that I have and neither talked about oiling the bolts and threads. We were curious about that.
When in doubt lube it, engine oil not moly something that may over torque it. Also, you can do it twice, marking it so that you know it's pretty consistent and something isn't stretching or is off from nicks spalls galls on the thread & bolt head surfaces. Expect it to possibly turn just a bit more, like 1/16 to 1/8 of a turn as the surfaces get burnished & smoother.
We all leave one way or the other. You didn't force it and listened to it when it told you something was off instead of trying to force it. Good job!
Thank you Chris. I appreciate your support!
like they say, experience is what you get right after you needed it. great job overall, glad you found the mistake
Thank you! It had us puzzled for a while.
Thanks. Your manual say anything about the bolts(threads & heads) being lubricated or dry for the torque spec? Also oil galley & any other plugs?

Great video! And I haven't even watched it all yet 😁
Thanks Hazen! It’s my first build so who knows how it will go. Fingers crossed good lol.
