I'm on shakey ground here, because I am about to disagree with David... (he is usually very right)

Wet torque is NOT the same as dry torque. Ask me how I found that out... same way ScaldedDog did +/-.

No problem, I am glad when people point out when I am wrong about something, makes me learn something new. Therefore, I did a bit of research on Google by inquiring "Torque Specs" and this is what I came up with. These are all dry specs:

Metric Steel Bolts Torque Specifications

Standard Dry Torque in Foot-Pounds

Bolt Size Millimeters-----------------------------14mm

Coarse Thread Pitch-----------------------------1.25

Standard 5D 71,160 psi Med. Carbon Steel--------55 ft lbs

Standard 8G 113,800 psi Med. Carbon Steel-------89 ft lbs

Standard 10K 142,000 psi Med. Carbon Steel------117 ft lbs

Standard 12K 170,674 psi Med. Carbon Steel------137 ft lbs

Now the question is, what are they made from?
