Would the following experiment be valid?

1. Clean bolt and hole of any residue from anti-seize, oil , etc
2. Torque bolt to 85 lbs.
3. Mark bolt and wheel with magic marker to show location of torqued bolt.
4. Repeat 1 and 2     5 times to establish accuracy.
6. Remove bolt, apply anti-seize compound.
7. Tighten bolt to within 45 degrees of mark.
8. Set, adjust, and use torque wrench to bring bolt and wheel markings in
line. (setting should be lower than 85 lbs)
9. Remove and install bolt 5 times using final torque reading from #8 above
to establish accuracy.

Divide anti-seize reading by dry reading . .. and you have % correlation
between dry and anti-seize applications.
I'm not sure if this percentage would track the same across different bolt
sizes.

Any comments?
