BTW,
Proper lubrication makes all the difference in the world when it comes to torque. Dry threads can require up to 180% of the twisting force to obtain the same percentage of yield as one with say, moly lube or mil spec anti-seize.
On the threads, washer (if there is one) and also on the face of the fastener and the part it's going up agin.
