Ti linkage bolts, Loctite or anit-seize ?

Mr. Robinson
What do you do with Ti linkage bolts, loctite them or anti-seize them? Torque them to OE spec?

Anti Seize and watch the tension. They behave differently to steel.

Anti-seize. Torque to ~40% lower than the same bolts in dry steel.

Thank you Billy. That's what I was looking for. I came real close to PM'ing you on this one, because I knew you would know.

I did go ahead and anti-seize and torque them, but I only backed off about 30%. I'll retorque them to 40% less. Thanks again.
