Good advice...follow the mfg torque spec!
If the stud fastener is plated (or coated) from the mfg. the torque spec will be 10-20% less than a 'dry' stud, due to the diff in friction coeficient.
Apply 'full' torque (as in dry fastener) to a plated or lubricated fastener, and you quickly exceed the yield strength...risky business.
