Ned, there was a little discussion on FB today regarding staking and OCKS.

After crunching a few numbers from your testing and others, it really drives home the point on just how importing the staking (and screws) are to increasing the removal torque.

Without staking, the screws won't even meet the minimum removal torque specified in the prints.

I think he's wrong for not staking these but at least his reason isn't "because it hurts the looks", and using the Permatex to me shows he gives a rip.
