Re: [T3] ACK! What did I do????

I can hear all those old German engineers turning in their graves at such
heresy, Jim.
I happily spend the 30cents on a new set to make sure I don't have to
replace studs damaged by overtightening due to oil weeping out or remove
the oil again to replace them.  Same for RC gaskets, and I save on sealant
too.
I guess we all have our different foibles (whatever they are!).
