ill just give you the bottle i have

 

I suppose that works.

 

Like I said, if nothing else, washers work. Mine leaked from the rear bungs. Header bungs never leaked. So, it was either try to fab up washers or replace the bungs. Decided to attempt the washer deal first. Found some stainless washers that were close, drilled the centers out perfect with a drill press before installing them, - no leaks since. Easier and cheaper since the only other way I would have done it is with a new Y section. If the washers didn't work, that was the plan anyway lol.

 

I'll try the anti seize first since it's the easiest. Good thing is they're easy to get to later on.

Garage organized to the point to where I can pull the truck in there and have more than enough room to work on it.

Looking forward to getting this done for good!

 

^ I don't think thread lock will do any good here under that extreme heat.

 

Not going to use thread locker.

 

Yea, that's one product that's never worked anyway. Not sure what it's good for. Ford and Ingersol Rand uses the best stuff IMO. Not sure exactly what that's called, it's a secret or no one knows lol. I haven't been able to purchase any. The only way to get it is to buy bolts with it pre-applied. Ford uses a blue type, IR uses the orange. Bolts don't come loose from vibration and the stuff seals as well. It looks like a silicone product.

 

The loctite red is pretty good but permanent or so they say. Used to use loctite blue at my last job, works pretty good for being service removable.

 

Yea, I've tried both Permatex types , red and blue. Never worked for me. I've tried it a few times figuring I may have got some bad stuff. Nope. There's some good stuff out there, just haven't found it yet.

 

Use this stuff on my Harley-Davidson....seems to work alright....my brother uses this at the guards jet shop also....only problem is it has to dry on the threads before fastening...

Thanks, yea haven't seen that before. It has to better than what I've tried. The last attempt I using the Blue and that had to dry first as well. I lost a bolt for the front disc brake caliper anchor plate. I had another set of bolts on hand and tried coating several times and it just didn't want to take. It's like water lol.

Anyways, I ended up heading to the dealership and purchasing new bolts. The new bolts had the Blue already applied; it was on there thick and looked more like a heavy silicon or something. I asked three people at the dealership out in the shop and no one could tell me where to get some or what it was called exactly lol.

Had I lost other anchor plate bolt instead. That would of tore the brake system up at that wheel as soon as I hit the skidders. That would have been no fun, so ... Yea, knowing that I wanted the right stuff, tried to figure it out, still a mystery lol.

Usually you can find that info on the spec charts from service. Not that for some reason. It's not listed.

 

JB weld. haha

 

That's for spark plugs isn't it?

 

Not in my truck! They already stick!

Just washed/cleaned the floor in the garage. We've been in the house just about a year and I don't think the garage floor was ever washed after they built it 6 years ago so there is concrete dust everywhere, er, was.

Hope you like Dos Equis, Pat. That's what's in the fridge.
