Jaguar classic XK engine rebuild.

Are the torque settings specified in the workshop manuals for dry or oiled threads? How would engine assembly grease do?

They will be taken dry, but if you do oil the threads then difference will be minimal.

Much more difference if you do/do not lubricate the back of the head of the bolt/nut.

Thanks Andy.
