[QUOTE=pachangalpina]I said it would help :rolleyesQUOTE]
wasnt trying to put any one down, Im just tired of trying to take things apart that had anti sieze on them.... trust me its a pain, the only thing I hate more is being upside down drilling out exaust manifold bolts on big block factory manifolds ( trust me it sucks)
just got done drilling out 32 bolts upside down, and yes I have turbo sockets and every easyout known to man

Re: Stainless Steel hardware on a Cast Iron Block
I have had very good results using non hardening gasket compound instaed of anti sieze, I also use clear silicone on bolts and nuts that I want to stay put. I have always worked on salt water boats the trick with getting things apart down the road is to keep moisture out of the threads.

Re: Stainless Steel hardware on a Cast Iron Block
I called Totally Stainless this morning. Had everything I needed but would take me a couple weeks to get. I will look around here locally as I want to start assembling this weekend.
About the clear silicone, I was under the impression it did not like aluminum. My Intakes are aluminum. Could I use the red permatex?
Thanks for the input.
