Wait....We're not done yet! Now ask what is best to seal those bolts with! [kinda like arguing fishing lures!] I use Loctite 567. A pipe sealant recommended to me by the pipefitters at work, never a problem.

your correct i was debating this in my head over the weekend and saw your post today
i was going to use the same stuff i used for my gasoline inlets on my carb.
i dont remember the number its lock tight but its reacts when it sniffs out metal surroundings
i think the carb has a diff temp than the exhaust mani so i may be back to use your recommended...
thanks for the post
