Re: [Amc-list] 232 I6 exhaust to intake manifold studs?

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Another lowbuck antisieze for exhaust stuff.
Maalox!
Dip the nut and brush it on the stud.
Assemble.
It actually works! Dries to a powder.
I used it on collector bolts after an exhaust shop told me about it back in the 80's.
Of course at the time I was dragracing weelly and uncapping.
So YMMV...
