I'll agree with that. I think a more precise way of saying it is that antiseize, or thread lubricant, leads to increased clamping force for the equivalent torque value. The poster may have been suggesting that the increased clamping force is equivalent to that applied by an increased torque setting on a dry bolt. Since you are using a crush washer, that increased clamping force can be too much.

You appeared to support the use of torque wrenches earlier in this thread, but are now suggesting just to seat the plugs, and then turn them 45 degrees more. If you didn't use that anti-seize, you could rely on the torque settings.

I am also still wondering how aluminum and steel have a chemical reaction going on without the presence of an electrolyte. So steel and aluminum can't be bolted together in a dry environment without an insulator between them?
