Optimum performance with the GTZ will be obtained when the following thermal grease imprint can be observed; this is the type of imprint I had for my review. Look at the center. All the grease has been squished out showing and elongated pattern. If you see grease in the center area like you see on the edges, then you have a poor mount.
Thx Gabe, but I cleaned the screw with an abrasive sponge (the tread seemed damaged) A drop of WD40 in the bracket allows that screw to go all the way down now...will keep you guys posted how the block will perform.
