I'm very close to buttoning my 3.0SC case and I was wondering about the torquing procedures. I've read many articles here on case sealants,etc.

Question 1:

Torque values on wrenches greatly vary depending if the stud is dry or oiled. I think that oil is required to get a proper torque value. My question with regards to case perimeter and through bolts, does anyone oil the stud after the case halves have been put together to achieve the proper torque? I don't recall mention of this.

Question 2:

The consensus seems to be to torque the perimeter first. If I'm using threebond 1104 does this hold true? And is there any pattern to torquing as there is to the case through bolts? I would have thought to snug up the perimeters first, then snug the case through bolts. Then torque the perimeter followed by through-bolts. Does this sound reasonable?

Question 3:

Oiling the o-rings. I plan on applying oil to the case through bolt o-rings - a simple 30W would be fine? Also, does anyone apply oil to the large oil pump o-rings. I read in Wayne's book not to do because the oil may seep onto the case mating halves.
