I'd be interested in seeing where they recommend using assembly Lube. Oil maybe, but I've never seen them recommend assembly lube.

And Subaru doesn't use Loctite on their head bolts. Oil would defeat the purpose loctite, which was my point from the beginning.

Also from Loctite's website:
"Grease, dirt, or oil in the assembly can slow curing, leading to a weak bond."
