BTW, Studebaker used brass nuts on their exhaust studs; being softer 
they stripped off without harming the stud. Also being dissimilar metals 
they didn't weld on with rust.

I've had really good luck with high-temperature anti-seize. The nickel 
metal stuff in some high-temp grease. The grease does burn out on the 
exhaust heat, but it leaves behind finely divided nickel metal dust that 
keep it from freezing. I use it on everything.
