Exhaust system threads and nuts

Postby paulwatkins » Sat 11.11.2006, 10:23

Hi guys,
During the engine strip down, I decided to split all the exhaust components from the turbo exhaust outlet down to the sprung section. This involved considerable hardship, blood, sweat, tears, hacksaw blades, foul language, etc etc :(

In the future I will replace the whole system for a SS type so I was wondering what would be the best stuff to cover the threads and nuts to stop them corroding again.

Any advice, as always, hugely appreciated.

IMHO you'll only slow the corrosion process up...

But I would utilize any nickel-based high-temperature anti-seize compound.

The thing that slows the corrosion right up is using a high temperature lacquer over the nuts/threads..

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The N/A-Team.
