[QUOTE="AllanB, post: 577185, member: 3978"] I understand your theory behind doing it. But in my line of business it is general practice not to put anything in a threaded hole that a stud is going in and it will be torqued to proper spec. If you put it on the stud and run it in, the threads will get lubricated. By putting it on the stud this will push the oil out of the hole while turning it in, not into the hole. Again I see your theory behind this, and you would think it would squeeze it all out. It is a long story, but I had a bad experience doing this one time. That is why I ask Golfer why he would put oil in the hole. Personally I would not chance it. When it starts to torque up you are not going to pass any fluid through the threads. I personally haven't read the instructions, but there is a reason they say lube the stud and don't mention the bowl. I am not in anyway trying to say you don't know what you are doing. I am sure you know more about these Powerstrokes than I do. Just saying that I had a bad experience with this one time, and just trying to help out with information. That would be the last thing you would want to do. If you have a cushion, you will not get a proper torque. This can cause a lot of problems. I wasn't aware that is what the instructions say, but that is exactly right. [/QUOTE]
