That would follow suit across the board for Grd2 (A307), Grd 5 and Grd 8, There are torque charts on the web, I believe I posted one on a previous post!!!

I've pulled the pumps on my V-12 and I could not remember this "hidden" bolt you all are talking about so I googled some images of the V-8 pump. Wow... that was an interesting design decision, glad that bit of ingenuity didn't transfer to Lincoln.

Reading this several times, when it defines "lubricants" it does not include
"anti seize" It is just obviously considered a lubricant? The fact that is not listed
has me wondering.

There is a lot of information on this to be found on the internet if you are interested. From some of the clamping force testing that has been done anti-seize is a bigger deal than something like oil, meaning the torque has to be reduced more with anti-seize to prevent over torqueing. I has seen suggestions of 35 to 50% reduction required. This is one of those subject like oil additivities where everyone is going to have a different post of view. The point is keep the anti-seize off of anything requiring critical torque values, such as rod bolts/nuts, head bolts, main bolts/nuts, etc.
