I just scanned the site and you are correct, I can not find the manual that came with my Power Torque BB. Unfortunately I am out of town until the 19th so I can only double check the booklet with the BB when I get back. I can tell you I have no doubt for two reasons: 1) Because I am into C&V cars/trucks as well as bike so did not have any syn grease and had to go buy it and clean out one of my grease guns to load it. 2) Were it me I would not doubt HillRider who I completely agree with and have never read anything but sound advise from him.
IIRC the threads had some yellow stuff on them about half way down the threads, probably a sealant not a thread locker which would leave the front of the BB threads with steel to aluminum contact which can be real trouble.
I will set a reminder for when I am back to post on this to put your mind at rest.
