Greg, I'll look up the spec in my Robert Bentley manual and write you
tomorrow.
About torque specs for lubricated fasteners, while I had considered the
possibility that you'd actually give more turns to get to the same spec
for a lubricated bolt, I figured that it was the force on the bolt that
really matters and that the lubricated ones would come apart easier anyway.
Specifically, I'm a great fan of the silver anti-seize compound goop and
I'm wondering whether I should adjust the torque settings as a result. I've
never had any problems with the manual's settings (although I have come
across manuals that show vastly different settings for the same fastener
in different parts of the manual) but I don't want any problems, either.
