85 1.9 gl So i am confused here what really works after 4-5 year when time to r&r the exhaust again I tried some 304 ss 12 mths ago for the tail pipe connected to the muffler with anti-seize ( the 1800F copper stuff) so for shits & giggle when my connector pipe went the other day I thought I'd see how easy the 3 304 ss bolts come off well they wont come off.. well really easy any ways with a socket wrench so I guess I have what they call galling occurring when the ss has heated up & come off & bonded to the steel thread in the muffler... So now when i do the connector pipe what grade of ss do i use 304 is out so 3XX or zinc plated ?? I will try the 2400F nickle based anti-seize http://www.permatex.com/documents/tds/automotive/77164.pdf http://www.jmindsupply.com/permatex-nickel%20antiseize%20lubricant.htm |
