Putting the Titan Stroker back together after replacing cam bearings, etc. What kind of lube is best for installing bottom end bolts? Crankshaft, etc. It will affect the torque, right?

Are you using any speciality manufacture’s fasteners such as ARP in your stroker?
For example. Here’s a link to ARP’s lubricated torque specs.

Yes, lubrication will most definitely affect the torque spec used.
Here’s a chart that will give you some idea of the torque reduction when using different lubes.

OP
I'm using the bolts used by Titan Engines since they built it from a bare block. Is there a lube you recommend?
OP
I spoke with tech support at Titan Engines and they said to use assembly lube on the threads unless a manufacturer like ARP or Comp Cams specifies a different product.
Sounds good. Did they give you the torque spec(s) to use?
If I remember correctly (it’s been a while) the ARP product was more graphite based.

Use non metal anti-seize or moly lubricant, I work for an race engine builder and that is what we use.
OP
Thank you so much! I never want to see these bolts again. All I want is 6,000 smooth, strong RPMs.
