I don't believe what people say about lubed bolts coming loose. You do lube your connecting rod bolts and main bearing botls before you tighten them, right? They don't come loose. The reason for not using neverseize is because it does reduce friction, but that has the effect of putting more tension on the stud for a given torque value, the stud is actually tighter. If you do use any kind of lube on a fastener with dry torques listed, it is generally recommended you reduce the torque anywhere between 15 and 25% or you risk breaking the fastener due to overtightening. I do use neverseize on my wheel studs.
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
