I suspect that the threads may have been "screwed up" by the Grade 5 non-Ford bolts and will continue to use them in this situation. I will remove the torque tube, clean up the mess, and replace the tube with a generous application of Permatex Aviation Sealer.

My main question concerns the amount of torque needed for securing bolts having lock washers as compared to bolts without.
