wiredgeorge Offline User Posts: 5310 Thank you received: 44	I use 6x16mm w/1.0 pitch thread socket head stainless and have never stripped a thread. You do know that a torque wrench can be used with a socket head? I buy these by the box of hundred specifically for this purpose. wiredgeorge Motorcycle Carburetors Mico TX www.wgcarbs.com Too many bikes to list!

wireman Visitor	anytime you screw or bolt two differant kinds of metals together you get electrolysis or a chemical reaction between the two metals the antiseize acts as an insulator and makes it easier to take back apart later,and helps lube the threads. goodluck,happy wrenching!
