Be careful when using "standard" torque tables. Be sure to understand the
assumptions each table makes (they vary) when generating its values
(lubrication, type of materials, locking features on hardware such as thread
locking liquids or patches, etc.) There are so many things to take into
consideration with torque I sometimes believe "standard torque table" is an
oxymoron :-) Use the table only as a starting point. A very complex subject
IMO. I get nightmares every time the subject comes up here!

Take care.
