David -
As an amateur who's had success with Campy bb's, I would assert the
following:
1 and 4. If a bb shell has never had a bb in it, it can't hurt to face
it (which will render question 1 moot).
2. Anti-seize or teflon tape. Many will warn against loctite except as
a last resort in the case of creaky bb cup issues.
3. I haven't gone wrong yet with the Campy torque specs.
Good luck -
